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

Infection by the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae elicits dynamic responses in rice. Utilizing an integrated approach of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, a 3D response is uncovered within rice leaf cells to M. oryzae infection. A comprehensive rice leaf atlas is constructed from 236 708 single-cell transcriptomes, revealing heightened expression of immune receptors, namely Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) and Nucleotide-binding site and leucine-rich repeat (NLRs) proteins, within vascular tissues. Diterpene phytoalexins biosynthesis genes are dramatically upregulated in procambium cells, leading to an accumulation of these phytoalexins within vascular bundles. Consistent with these findings, microscopic observations confirmed that M. oryzae is prone to target leaf veins for invasion, yet is unable to colonize further within vascular tissues. Following fungal infection, basal defenses are extensively activated in rice cells, as inferred from trajectory analyses. The spatial transcriptomics reveals that rice leaf tissues toward leaf tips display stronger immunity. Characterization of the polarity gene OsHKT9 suggests that potassium transport plays a critical role in resisting M. oryzae infection by expression along the longitudinal axis, where the immunity is stronger toward leaf tip. This work uncovers that there is a cell-specific and multi-dimensional (local and longitudinal) immune response to a fungal pathogen infection.
