Rvi6-mediated defense mechanisms against apple scab.

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
backgroundApple scab, caused by the hemibiotrophic fungus Venturia inaequalis (cooke) Wint., is a globally prevalent disease that severely threatens apple yield and fruit quality. Although the key resistance gene Rvi6 (resistance to Venturia inaequalis 6) has been widely deployed in apple scab-resistant breeding programs, the molecular mechanisms underlying its resistance phenotype remain poorly characterized.
resultsIn this study, we generated transgenic apple calli overexpressing Rvi6 and systematically investigated both its resistance phenotype and underlying molecular mechanisms. The Rvi6 gene presented high expression levels in leaves and fruits throughout the growth cycle, and aligning with the infection window of V. inaequalis. Rvi6 overexpression significantly reduced the levels of IAA (indole-3-acetic acid), ABA (abscisic acid), and JA (jasmonic acid), and auxin signaling, as well as the callus growth, which directly evidencing the "growth-defense trade-off" hypothesis on Rvi6-mediated apple scab resistance. The marked inhibition of V. inaequalis infection in Rvi6-overexpressing calli was attributed to increased ROS (reactive oxygen species) scavenging capacity, increased osmolyte accumulation, and maintenance of plasma membrane integrity. Additionally, Rvi6 induction depressed apple growth by reducing auxin accumulation and attenuating auxin signaling. Transcriptome analysis revealed that multiple biological processes and signaling pathways are involved in Rvi6-mediated disease resistance. Pathways related to plant‒pathogen interactions, lipid and amino acid metabolism, and flavonoid biosynthesis were significantly enriched among the upregulated pathways. Conversely, plant hormone signal transduction, protein processing and modification, and carbohydrate metabolism were enriched predominantly in the downregulated pathways.
conclusionsRvi6 exhibits high expression in leaves and fruits across the growth cycle, aligning with the infection window of V. inaequalis. Rvi6 enhances ROS scavenging capacity, osmolyte accumulation, and plasma membrane integrity, as well as suppresses apple growth, thereby restricting V. inaequalis invasion.
