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

Salvia miltiorrhiza produces pharmacologically bioactive diterpenoid tanshinones which are regulated by jasmonate (JA) and abscisic acid (ABA) signalling, while their crosstalk in this process remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated that MeJA and ABA acted synergistically to enhance tanshinone biosynthesis. We reported that a novel bZIP transcription factor, SmbZIP5, was involved in ABA- and JA-induced tanshinone biosynthesis. ABA-activated SmSnRK2.6 kinase phosphorylated SmbZIP5 at four residues (S33, S127, S129, T171), enhancing its stability and transactivation activity. Conversely, the JA signalling repressor SmJAZ9 physically interacted with SmbZIP5, suppressing its transactivation activity. Overexpression of SmbZIP5 enhanced the tanshinone production and biosynthetic genes expression, while knockout of SmbZIP5 abolished ABA- and MeJA-induced tanshinone accumulation. Moreover, SmbZIP5 directly bound to the ABA-responsive element (ABRE) in the promoter of SmGGPPS1 and CYP76AK1. These findings suggest that a SnRK2-bZIP-JAZ regulatory module integrates ABA and JA signalling to coordinately activate tanshinone biosynthesis, providing novel insights into phytohormone crosstalk and a potential strategy for metabolic engineering in S. miltiorrhiza.
