Biomolecular condensates in plant immunity.
Review in Cell host & microbe, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Plant defense against microbial pathogens relies on coordinated regulation of diverse molecular processes. Although much has been learned about these processes through traditional and modern approaches, recent findings indicate that they are orchestrated through membraneless biomolecular condensates formed via liquid-liquid phase separation and related phase transitions. The principle of subcellular compartmentalization is especially important for plants, as they lack specialized immune cells, requiring them to coordinate defense responses with other physiological functions. As a result, the dynamic spatiotemporal organization of immune-related molecules becomes a critical layer of regulation that has only recently become a research frontier. Here, we discuss the emerging roles of biomolecular condensates in plant immunity, identify critical questions for future research, and propose a framework for moving forward. By incorporating condensate biology into the study of plant defense, we suggest novel strategies for enhancing crop resilience and advancing sustainable agriculture.
