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

Pectin is an abundant polysaccharide with essential roles in various biological processes. Despite considerable advances in understanding the regulatory mechanisms of pectin biosynthesis, the influence of phytohormones on this process remains unclear. Here we report that gibberellins (GA) promotes pectin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis. The DELLA proteins, as GA signaling repressors, interact with TRANSPARENT TESTA GLABRA2 (TTG2) and components of the MYB-bHLH-WD40 (MBW) complex, the key regulators of pectin biosynthesis, to repress their transcriptional regulatory activities. Furthermore, the MBW proteins and TTG2 physically interact and synergistically activate the downstream target GLABRA2, whereas this interaction and collaboration are competitively attenuated by DELLAs. Genetic analyses validate that GA-mediated pectin biosynthesis relies on functional TTG2 and MBW proteins. Moreover, the pectin biosynthesis mediated by the GA-DELLA-MBW-TTG2 module contributes to GA-regulated seedling growth. Our findings reveal the significance of the GA-DELLA-MBW-TTG2 signaling cascade in the regulation of pectin biosynthesis and plant development.
