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

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a crucial phytohormone involved in plant growth and stress responses. While the transcriptional regulation triggered by ABA is well-documented, its effects on translational regulation have been less studied. Through Ribo-seq and RNA-seq analyses, we find that ABA treatment not only influences gene expression at the mRNA level but also significantly impacts mRNA translation efficiency (TE) in Arabidopsis thaliana. ABA inhibits global mRNA translation via its core signaling pathway, which includes ABA receptors, protein phosphatase 2Cs (PP2Cs), and SNF1-related protein kinase 2 s (SnRK2s). Upon ABA treatment, Glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins 7 and 8 (GRP7&8) protein levels decrease due to both reduced mRNA level and decreased TE, which diminishes their association with polysomes and leads to a global decline in mRNA TE. The absence of GRP7&8 results in a global impairment of ABA-regulated translational changes, linking ABA signaling to GRP7-dependent modulation of mRNA translation. The regulation of GRP7 on TE relies significantly on its direct binding to target mRNAs. Moreover, mRNA translation efficiency under drought stress is partially dependent on the ABA-GRP7&8 pathways. Collectively, our study reveals GRP7's role downstream of SnRK2s in mediating translation regulation in ABA signaling, offering a model for ABA-triggered multi-route regulation of environmental adaptation.
