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

Iron (Fe) is a vital nutrient for the growth and development of plants. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the bHLH transcription factor FER-LIKE IRON-DEFICIENCY-INDUCED TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR (FIT) plays a pivotal role in regulating the response to Fe deficiency. Our study reveals that the R2R3-MYB transcription factor MYB30 is a positive regulator of the Fe-deficiency response by regulating FIT stability. Plants with loss-of-function mutations in MYB30 exhibit pronounced Fe-deficiency symptoms and diminished Fe uptake, while overexpression of MYB30 leads to the opposite effects. We have discovered that MYB30 interacts with BRUTUS LIKE1 (BTSL1) and BTSL2, 2 partially redundant E3 ubiquitin ligases that negatively regulate the Fe-deficiency response. MYB30 binds to the C-terminal region of BTSL1 through its MYB DNA-binding domain, thereby safeguarding FIT from BTSL1-mediated ubiquitination and degradation, resulting in FIT accumulation for Fe-deficiency response. In summary, our research uncovers the role of the transcription factor MYB30 as a regulator of FIT stability, which in turn modulates Fe homeostasis in plants in response to Fe deficiency.
