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

Receptor-like proteins (RLPs) are cell-surface receptors that recognise pathogen- or damage-associated molecular patterns to activate immune responses, and some also participate in plant development and modulation of defence signalling. Recent advances in bioinformatics and high-throughput technologies have begun to shed light on the functional roles of RLPs, their interactions with other immune receptors, and their involvement in plant defence mechanisms. This review summarises the emerging roles of RLPs in plant immunity, with a particular focus on their dynamic interplay with receptor-like kinases (RLKs) and intracellular nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) in forming integrated immune signalling networks. We also compare RLP functions across model species and major crops, revealing both conserved mechanisms and species-specific adaptations that may reflect evolutionary divergence. Furthermore, we evaluate the potential of RLPs as promising targets for disease resistance breeding. Together, this review provides a comprehensive framework for understanding RLP functions and offers strategic perspectives for leveraging RLPs in translational crop improvement.
