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

The identification effector targets and characterization of their functions are crucial for understanding pathogen infection mechanisms and components of plant immunity. Here, we identify the effector UgsL, a ustilaginoidin synthetase with a key role in regulating virulence of the rice false smut fungus Ustilaginoidea virens. Heterologous expression of UgsL in rice (Oryza sativa) enhances plant susceptibility to multiple pathogens, and host-induced gene silencing of UgsL enhances plant resistance to U. virens, indicating that UgsL inhibits rice immunity. UgsL interacts with STRUBBELIG RECEPTOR KINASE 3 (OsSRF3). Genome editing and overexpression of OsSRF3 demonstrate that OsSRF3 plays a pivotal role in the resistance of rice to multiple pathogens. Remarkably, overexpressing OsSRF3 enhances resistance without adversely affecting plant growth or yield. We show that BRASSINOSTEROID RECEPTOR-ASSOCIATED KINASE 1 (OsBAK1) interacts with and phosphorylates OsSRF3 to activate pathogen-triggered immunity, inducing the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade, a reactive oxygen species burst, callose deposition, and expression of defense-related genes. UgsL interferes with the phosphorylation of OsSRF3 by OsBAK1. Furthermore, UgsL mediates OsSRF3 degradation by facilitating its association with the ubiquitin-26S proteasome. Our results reveal that OsSRF3 positively regulates immunity in rice and that UgsL mediates its degradation, thereby inhibiting the activation of OsBAK1-OsSRF3-mediated immune pathways.
