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

In the coevolutionary process between plant pathogens and hosts, pathogen effectors, primarily proteinaceous, engage in interactions with host proteins, such as plant transcription factors (TFs), during the infection process. This review delves into the intricate interplay between TFs and effectors, a key aspect in the prolonged and complex battle between plants and pathogens. Effectors strategically manipulate TFs using diverse tactics. These include modulating activity of TFs, influencing their incorporation into multimeric complexes, directly changing TF expression levels, promoting their degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome system, and inducing their subcellular relocalization. The review systematically presents documented interactions, elucidating key mechanisms and their profound impact on host-pathogen dynamics. It emphasises the central role of TFs in plant defence and investigates the convergent evolution of effectors targeting TFs. By providing this overview, we offer valuable insights into this dynamic interaction landscape and suggest potential directions for future research.
