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

Proteases degrade proteins that are damaged, misfolded, or no longer needed. This enables plants to repurpose their proteomes in response to environmental cues and adapt to adverse conditions. Proteases also play key roles in plant growth and development by the selective degradation of regulatory proteins. However, there is much more to proteases than just protein degradation. They can also act in a highly site-specific manner, ensuring protein maturation after subcellular targeting, regulating protein activity and function, and releasing or modulating peptide signals. Since their activity is irreversible and potentially deleterious, proteases are tightly controlled by endogenous inhibitors and other regulatory mechanisms. The reviews and research articles in this Special Issue put a timely spotlight on the fascinating diversity, function, and regulation of proteases in plants, discuss current challenges and technical developments, and provide a perspective on their use for crop protection.
