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

12-cis-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPDA), a precursor of jasmonoyl-isoleucine (JA-Ile), is known to have distinct signaling roles in Arabidopsis, as shown in studies using the opr3 mutant, which lacks OPDA REDUCTASE3 (OPR3). This mutant, however, accumulates low levels of JA-Ile through an OPR2-mediated bypass. To investigate OPDA signaling, the wound-induced transcriptome of the opr2opr3 mutant is compared to that of wild-type and allene oxide synthase mutant. Endogenous OPDA shows no unique transcriptional signature under control or wounding conditions, and previously identified OPDA-responsive genes are wound-induced independently of OPDA. Applying OPDA to opr2opr3 triggers a distinct response suggesting compartmentalization of endogenously formed OPDA. Trans-organellar complementation reveals that expression of OPR3 or OPR2 in opr2opr3 restores JA-Ile production regardless of localization, whereas mitochondrial targeted OPR1 exhibiting low OPDA/4,5-ddh-JA conversion activity does not. Our findings show that OPDA primarily serves as a JA precursor with limited independent signaling functions in the early wound response.
