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 alterations in gene expression levels in response to the pathogens are pivotal in determining pathogenicity or susceptibility. However, the cell-type-specific interaction mechanism between the pinewood nematode (PWN) and its hosts remains largely unexplored and poorly understood. Here, we employed single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) with PWN-infected Arabidopsis leaves to dissect the heterogeneous immune responses. We identified four major cell types, each exhibiting distinct immune responses during infection by PWNs. Subcluster analyses uncovered dynamic shifts in immune-active subpopulations within mesophyll and epidermal cells. Notably, AtWRKY70 positively regulated plant defence against PWNs by suppressing the promoter activity of AtPNP-A in a salicylic acid-dependent manner. This study not only provides novel mechanistic insights into plant gene regulation during PWN infection, but also offers feasible references for future investigations of host-PWN interactions, with particular relevance to the identification of pine tree resistance genes against this pathogen.
