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 inevitably encounter a diverse array of constantly changing environmental stresses, and drought stands out as one of the most severe threats to plants. Abscisic acid (ABA) and jasmonic acid (JA) work synergistically to increase plant drought tolerance, but their interplay during drought response remains elusive. Here, we uncovered that ABA induced the degradation of a negative transcription regulator, ethylene responsive factor (ERF.D2), in tomato drought tolerance. We identified that ERF.D2 was phosphorylated at Ser-52 by calcium-dependent protein kinase 27 (CPK27) in an ABA-dependent manner and underwent subsequent PUB22-mediated ubiquitination. Degradation of ERF.D2 leads to the increase of the transcript levels of JA biosynthesis genes, allene oxide cyclase (AOC) and 12-oxophytodienoic acid reductase 3 (OPR3), and endogenous concentration of JA, thus enhancing tomato plant drought tolerance. These findings demonstrate a novel insight into the molecular mechanism of ABA-JA synergistic interaction during tomato drought tolerance.
