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

Plants have evolved a sophisticated chemical defense network to counteract pathogens, with phenolamides and salicylic acid (SA) playing pivotal roles in the immune response. However, the synergistic regulatory mechanisms of their biosynthesis remain to be explored. Here, we identified a biosynthetic gene cluster on chromosome 2 (BGC2) associated with the biosynthesis of phenolamide and SA, wherein the key component SlEPS1 exhibits dual catalytic functions for the synthesis of phenolamides and SA. Overexpression of the key component SlEPS1 of BGC2 in tomato enhanced resistance to the bacterial pathogen Pst DC3000, whereas knockout plants were more susceptible. Exogenous applications of SA and phenolamides revealed that these two compounds act synergistically to enhance plant resistance. Notably, during tomato domestication, a disease-resistant allele of SlEPS1, SlEPS1
