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

Plants have evolved sophisticated defense systems to protect against herbivory, including the systemic induction of jasmonic acid (JA) synthesis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this process remain poorly understood. Here, we report that root-knot nematode (RKN) attack induced a phyB-dependent accumulation of ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL 5 (HY5) in the leaves, which activates the expression of JA biosynthesis genes and HY5 itself in tomato. In addition, the systemic transmission of GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR-LIKE 3.5 (GLR3.5)-dependent electrical signals induced by RKN triggers the physical interaction between CALMODULIN 2 (CaM2) and HY5 to amplify the transcriptional regulation of HY5 and JA synthesis. HY5 functions as a systemic signal that moves from leaves to roots to maintain the electrical signaling from roots to leaves by activating GLR3.5 expression. Together, these results reveal a HY5-dependent systemic signaling cascade that integrates light and electrical signals to activate JA-mediated defense against nematodes in tomato.
