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

Global warming will lead to significantly increased temperatures on earth. Plants respond to high ambient temperature with altered developmental and growth programs, termed thermomorphogenesis. Here we show that thermomorphogenesis is conserved in Arabidopsis, soybean, and rice and that it is linked to a decrease in the levels of the two macronutrients nitrogen and phosphorus. We also find that low external levels of these nutrients abolish root growth responses to high ambient temperature. We show that in Arabidopsis, this suppression is due to the function of the transcription factor ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5) and its transcriptional regulation of the transceptor NITRATE TRANSPORTER 1.1 (NRT1.1). Soybean and Rice homologs of these genes are expressed consistently with a conserved role in regulating temperature responses in a nitrogen and phosphorus level dependent manner. Overall, our data show that root thermomorphogenesis is a conserved feature in species of the two major groups of angiosperms, monocots and dicots, that it leads to a reduction of nutrient levels in the plant, and that it is dependent on environmental nitrogen and phosphorus supply, a regulatory process mediated by the HY5-NRT1.1 module.
