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

Phosphorylation of histone H3 at threonine 11 (H3T11ph) affects transcription and chromosome stability. However, the enzymes responsible for depositing H3T11ph and the functions of H3T11ph in plants remain unknown. Here we report that in Arabidopsis thaliana, PYRUVATE KINASE 6 (PK6), PK7 and PK8 enter the nucleus under conditions of sufficient glucose and light exposure, where they interact with SWI2/SNF2-RELATED 1 COMPLEX 4 (SWC4) and phosphorylate H3 at threonine 11. Mutations in these kinases or knockdown of SWC4 resulted in FLC-dependent early flowering, short hypocotyls and short pedicels. Genome-wide, H3T11ph is highly enriched at transcription start sites and transcription termination sites, and positively correlated with gene transcript levels. PK6 and SWC4 targeted FLC, MYB73, PRE1, TCP4 and TCP10, depositing H3T11ph at these loci and promoting their transcription, and PK6 occupancy at these loci requires SWC4. Together, our results reveal that nuclear-localized PK6, PK7 and PK8 modulate H3T11ph and plant growth.
