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

Plant peptide hormones play essential roles in various physiological processes, including activating defence responses to biotic stress. Membrane-localized pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) typically detect peptide hormones to initiate signalling pathways. Through comprehensive peptide-receptor matching, we identified 63 peptide-receptor pairs in soybeans. Among these, the immunomodulatory phytocytokines GmPEP914 and GmPEP890 trigger robust immune responses that suppress a broad spectrum of pathogen infections, mediated by their identified receptors GmPEP914 and GmPEP890 RECEPTOR1 (GmP98R1) and GmP98R2. Biochemical assays combined with AI-based structural modelling demonstrated that both peptides directly bind GmP98Rs with nanomolar affinity, driven primarily by interactions between the receptors and the C-terminal residue of the peptides. The PEP914-P98R module is conserved across Fabales and Cucurbitales, underscoring its evolutionary importance. Collectively, our study establishes a scalable pipeline for systematic peptide-receptor discovery and elucidates the pivotal role of the PEP914-P98R module in soybean disease resistance.
