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

SUPPRESSOR OF BIR1-1 (SOBIR1) is a receptor-like kinase (RLK) that acts as a coreceptor for multiple receptor-like proteins (RLPs) to mediate pathogen-associated molecular pattern)-triggered immunity. However, the regulation of SOBIR1 homeostasis and activity remains largely unknown. Our study reveals that SOBIR1-ASSOCIATED PROTEIN KINASE 1 (SOAK1), a member of the receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase (RLCK)-V subfamily with a transmembrane domain, negatively regulates multiple RLP-mediated immune responses. SOAK1 constitutively interacts with SOBIR1 and modulates SOBIR1-dependent immune signaling. SOAK1 directly phosphorylates SOBIR1 at serine-406, substantially impairing its ability to transphosphorylate itself and BAK1. The conservation of serine-406 residue among various flowering plants suggests that phosphorylation at this site plays a critical role in regulating plant immunity. Conversely, SOBIR1 also phosphorylates SOAK1 primarily at serine-73, inhibiting SOAK1's kinase activity and derepressing SOBIR1 activity. This study elucidates a regulatory mechanism for SOBIR1 activity and highlights an uncharacterized role of RLCK-V subfamily members in plant immunity.
