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

Phytopathogenic fungi secrete a great number of effector proteins into various organelles of host plants and suppress plant immunity through different mechanisms. In this study, we identify SCRE7 as a unique nuclear effector that is essential for U. virens infection. SCRE7 interacts with a transcription factor OsLBD11/12 in rice nuclei. Interestingly, defence responses and rice resistance against bacterial and fungal diseases are negatively modulated by SCRE7, but positively regulated by OsLBD11/12. Consistently, transcriptome analyses revealed that SCRE7 and OsLBD11/12 oppositely regulate multiple immune-related pathways in rice. Furthermore, we demonstrated that OsLBD11/12 activates the transcription of OsCPS2 encoding a positive immune regulator through specifically binding to the cis-element in the OsCPS2 promoter. SCRE7 attenuates the binding of OsLBD11/12 to the cis-element and thereby inhibits the transcriptional activity of the transcription factor and rice immunity. The findings not only represent an unidentified infection strategy in U. virens, but also provide candidate gene targets for the creation of disease-resistant germplasms in rice.
