A plant immune receptor mediates tritrophic interactions by linking caterpillar detection to predator recruitment.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 deploy direct and indirect defenses in response to insect herbivory. The specific antiherbivore responses involve cell surface immune receptors that recognize herbivore associated molecular patterns (HAMPs), yet the ecological relevance of this molecular interplay remains unexplored. We demonstrate that the Inceptin Receptor (INR) encoded by common bean, upon recognition of inceptin, a HAMP in caterpillar oral secretions, orchestrates a tritrophic interaction. Laboratory and field experimentation in Mexico using a naturally occurring inceptin-insensitive mutant and its near-isogenic wild type equivalent, revealed that inceptin recognition by INR activates an herbivore-specific immune pathway, and triggers the emission of a volatile blend that recruits predatory wasps. These findings provide a novel molecular-to-ecological link, revealing how an immune receptor mediates ecologically relevant plant-insect-predator interactions in nature.
