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

Ciboria shiraiana is a necrotrophic fungus that causes mulberry sclerotinia disease resulting in huge economic losses in agriculture. During infection, the fungus uses immunity elicitors to induce plant tissue necrosis that could facilitate its colonization on plants. However, the key elicitors and immune mechanisms remain unclear in C. shiraiana. Herein, a novel elicitor Cs08297 secreted by C. shiraiana was identified, and it was found to target the apoplast in plants to induce cell death. Cs08297 is a cysteine-rich protein unique to C. shiraiana, and cysteine residues in Cs08297 were crucial for its ability to induce cell death. Cs08297 induced a series of defence responses in Nicotiana benthamiana, including the burst of reactive oxygen species (ROS), callose deposition, and activation of defence-related genes. Cs08297 induced-cell death was mediated by leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptor-like kinases BAK1 and SOBIR1. Purified His-tagged Cs08297-thioredoxin fusion protein triggered cell death in different plants and enhanced plant resistance to diseases. Cs08297 was necessary for sclerotial development, oxidative-stress adaptation, and cell wall integrity but negatively regulated virulence of C. shiraiana. In conclusion, our results revealed that Cs08297 is a novel fungal elicitor in fungi inducing plant immunity. Furthermore, its potential to enhance plant resistance provides a new target to control agricultural diseases biologically.
