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

GPI-anchored proteins are widely distributed in eukaryotic cells. However, their functions are still poorly understood in necrotrophic pathogenic fungi. Here, based on Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transient expression screening, a novel secreted GPI-anchored protein, SsGP1, that induces plant cell death was characterised in Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The homologues of SsGP1 are broadly distributed among ascomycetes. SsGP1 can activate plant immune responses, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst and the up-regulated expression of immunity genes, in a manner that is dependent on BAK1 but independent of SOBIR1. Treatment of plants with SsGP1 protein enhanced the resistance of Nicotiana benthamiana and Arabidopsis thaliana to S. sclerotiorum. Our findings reveal that SsGP1 functions as a pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP) and is recognised by plants in a BAK1-dependent manner.
