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

Karrikins (KARs), produced during wildfires, are bioactive compounds that stimulate seed germination in fire-prone ecosystems and influence broader plant-environment interactions. These compounds act through the α/β hydrolase receptor KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE2 (KAI2), which perceives KARs as analogs of the hypothesized phytohormone KAI2 ligand (KL). KAR signaling shares molecular parallels with strigolactones (SLs), another class of butenolide plant hormones, and regulates diverse processes such as seedling development, root architecture, photomorphogenesis, and stress responses. Despite its multifaceted roles, the mechanistic basis of KAR-mediated regulation remains poorly understood. This review synthesizes insights into KAR signaling mechanisms, emphasizing recent advances in signal transduction pathways and functional studies. It also addresses key unresolved questions, including the identity of endogenous KL and the crosstalk between KARs and other hormonal networks. By elucidating these mechanisms, KAR-based strategies hold promises for enhancing crop resilience and sustainability, offering novel avenues for agricultural innovation in changing environments.
