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

This study investigates the role of NaLRR-RK4 in plant defense against Alternaria alternata in Nicotiana attenuata, focusing on the differential gene expression in wild-type (WT, NaLRR-RK4 expressed) and NaLRR-RK4-silenced (RNAi) plants upon inoculation. Transcriptomic sequencing was conducted to analyze the expression of genes in WT and RNAi plants under Alternaria alternata infection and non-infection conditions, aiming to identify the pathways influenced by NaLRR-RK4 in conferring resistance to A. alternata. The activation of MAPK signaling in WT plants, including the upregulation of WRKY33, PR1, and ethylene- and ABA-responsive genes, plays a crucial role in enhancing resistance against A. alternata. In contrast, RNAi-treated plants exhibited reduced activation of these genes, highlighting the essential role of NaLRR-RK4 in initiating effective defense responses. NaLRR-RK4 functions as a key regulator of MAPK signaling, mediating plant defense against A. alternata through the coordinated activation of WRKY33, PR1, and ethylene- and ABA-responsive genes.
