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

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) regulates plant responses to environmental stresses, development, and immunity. Under unfavorable conditions, ABA forms a complex with its receptor proteins Pyrabactin Resistance 1 (PYR1)/PYR1-likes (PYLs)/Regulatory Component of ABA Receptors (RCARs), inhibiting Clade A Protein Phosphatases Type 2C (PP2Cs) and releasing Sucrose Non-Fermenting-1-Related Protein Kinase 2s (SnRK2s) from PP2C-mediated inhibition. Rapidly Accelerated Fibrosarcoma (RAF) kinases from the B1, B2, and B3 subgroups phosphorylate and reactivate SnRK2s, initiating ABA responses. While ABA does not significantly activate B-RAFs, their basal activity is essential for initiating ABA signaling. However, the mechanisms sustaining this basal B-RAF activity are not fully understood. In this study, we revealed that Clade A PP2Cs interact with and dephosphorylate a certain number of B3 subgroup RAFs at a conserved serine residue, corresponding to Ser619 in RAF3, within the phosphate-binding loop. A phosphomimicking mutation at this residue, RAF3
