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

Cold stress restricts root growth by disrupting stem cell activity in plants. C-REPEAT BINDING FACTORs (CBFs) are central regulators of cold signalling and also modulate root stem cell activity. While the receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase CRPK1 promotes CBF destabilization under cold stress, its regulatory partner remains unclear. Here we identify KINASE ON THE INSIDE (KOIN), a plasma-membrane-localized receptor-like kinase, as a crucial interactor of CRPK1. The loss of either KOIN or CRPK1 results in cold-insensitive root phenotypes, characterized by sustained primary root elongation and enhanced cortex cell proliferation via the 14-3-3-CBF3-SHR pathway. Under cold stress, KOIN undergoes endocytosis and is recycled back to the plasma membrane in a CRPK1-dependent manner. Although catalytically inactive, KOIN modulates CRPK1 protein levels and phosphorylation through a non-catalytic mechanism. These findings uncover a membrane-to-nucleus signalling module that integrates receptor trafficking with intracellular kinase activity to mediate cold-induced root growth inhibition in Arabidopsis.
