1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

SUCROSE-NON-FERMENTING1-RELATED PROTEIN KINASE1 (SnRK1), a central plant metabolic sensor kinase, phosphorylates its target proteins, triggering a global shift from anabolism to catabolism. Molecular modeling revealed that upon binding of KIN10 to GEMINIVIRUS REP-INTERACTING KINASE1 (GRIK1), KIN10's activation T-loop reorients into GRIK1's active site, enabling its phosphorylation and activation. Trehalose 6-phosphate (T6P) is a proxy for cellular sugar status and a potent inhibitor of SnRK1. T6P binds to KIN10, a SnRK1 catalytic subunit, weakening its affinity for GRIK1. Here, we investigate the molecular details of T6P inhibition of KIN10. Molecular dynamics simulations and in vitro phosphorylation assays identified and validated the T6P binding site on KIN10. Under high-sugar conditions, T6P binds to KIN10, blocking the reorientation of its activation loop and preventing its phosphorylation and activation by GRIK1. Under these conditions, SnRK1 maintains only basal activity levels, minimizing phosphorylation of its target proteins, thereby facilitating a general shift from catabolism to anabolism.
