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

Necrotrophic pathogens cause serious threats to agricultural crops, and understanding the resistance genes and their genetic networks is key to breeding new plant cultivars with better resistance traits. Although Alternaria alternata causes black spot in important leafy brassica vegetables, and leads to significant loss of yield and food quality, little is known about plant-A. alternata interactions. In this study, we used a unique and large collection of single, double and triple mutant lines of defence metabolite regulators in Arabidopsis to explore how these transcription factors and their epistatic networks may influence A. alternata infections. This identified nine novel regulators and 20 pairs of epistatic interactions that modulate Arabidopsis plants' defence responses to A. alternata infection. We further showed that the glucosinolate 4-methoxy-indol-3-ylmethyl is the only glucosinolate consistently responsive to A. alternata infection in Col-0 ecotype. With the further exploration of the regulators and the genetic networks on modulating the accumulation of glucosinolates under A. alternata infection, an inverted triangle regulatory model was proposed for Arabidopsis plants' defence responses at a metabolic level and a phenotypic level.
