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

Sorbitol is an important primary metabolite that serves as both a carbon source and signal to pathogens. The leaf diseases caused by Alternata alternata are particularly serious in crabapple (Malus micromalus). Here, we found that sorbitol can enhance the resistance of crabapple to A. alternata R1 by increasing the content of flavonoid catechin. Nanomaterials as an emerging technology tool can efficiently deliver lncRNA to target cells. Here, we found nanoencapsulated lncRNA809 (SPc/lncRNA809) exhibits significant resistance to R1strain. To elucidate the effect of SPc/lncRNA809 on flavonoids catechin synthesis, we observed the expression of lncRNA809 was consistent with that of MmNAC17 which regulates the synthesis of catechin and both could jointly respond to sorbitol. MmNAC17 induced the accumulation of catechin in vivo by directly activating the expression of catechin synthase genes MmF3H and MmLAR. Correspondingly, overexpression of lncRNA809 significantly upregulated the expression of MmNAC17 and enhanced the disease resistance. This study reveals for the first time that sorbitol positively regulates the expression of MmNAC17 through lncRNA809, promoting the accumulation of catechin via the expression of MmF3H and MmLAR, ultimately improving the defense response of M. micromalus. This research provides a crucial foundation for the establishment and application of sorbitol-based signaling regulatory networks.
