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

Non-cell autonomous signalling is a mechanism by which stem cells are maintained across the tree of life. In plants, many stem cell populations are regulated by peptide ligands related to CLAVATA3, which are secreted from one cell type and bind to the leucine-rich repeat domain of a plasma-membrane-localised receptor kinase related to CLAVATA1 in an adjacent cell type. Activation of CLAVATA1-like receptors then leads to a suite of events regulating stem cell fate. The vascular cambium, the meristem from which xylem and phloem are derived, is no different in this respect. Here, TRACHEARY ELEMENT DIFFERENTIATION FACTOR (TDIF) peptide is excreted from phloem cells and binds to the PHLOEM INTERCALATED WITH XYLEM (PXY) receptor kinase, which in turn leads to activation of a suite of factors that influence xylem and phloem production. In 2016, we reviewed the literature that described signalling components, phytohormones and transcription factors that interacted with TDIF and PXY. In the intervening period, our understanding of these interactions has significantly progressed and here we provide an update, describing how TDIF and PXY promote growth while maintaining pattern in the stem cell populations that they regulate.
