Plant microRNAs regulate the defense response against pathogens.
Review in Frontiers in microbiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers.
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.
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
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs, typically 20-25 nucleotides in length, that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression post-transcriptionally. They are involved in various biological processes such as plant growth, development, stress response, and hormone signaling pathways. Plants interact with microbes through multiple mechanisms, including mutually beneficial symbiotic relationships and complex defense strategies against pathogen invasions. These defense strategies encompass physical barriers, biochemical defenses, signal recognition and transduction, as well as systemic acquired resistance. MiRNAs play a central role in regulating the plant's innate immune response, activating or suppressing the transcription of specific genes that are directly involved in the plant's defense mechanisms against pathogens. Notably, miRNAs respond to pathogen attacks by modulating the balance of plant hormones such as salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, and ethylene, which are key in activating plant defense mechanisms. Moreover, miRNAs can cross boundaries into fungal and bacterial cells, performing cross-kingdom RNA silencing that enhances the plant's disease resistance. Despite the complex and diverse roles of miRNAs in plant defense, further research into their function in plant-pathogen interactions is essential. This review summarizes the critical role of miRNAs in plant defense against pathogens, which is crucial for elucidating how miRNAs control plant defense mechanisms.
