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

Host actin remodeling is critical for plant defense against pathogen infection, yet its specific functions remain to be fully explored. This study characterizes the role of the actin cytoskeleton in regulating mitochondrial dynamics to enhance plant defense. We demonstrate that the perception of the bacterial flagellin epitope induces excessive mitochondrial elongation, which facilitates the exchange of mitochondrial components for the functional recovery of damaged mitochondria. This elongation also promotes ATP and mitochondrial ROS production. The formation of elongated mitochondria largely depends on actin bundles in the cortical array. The contribution of actin bundles involves providing structural support for mitochondrial fusion and preventing already elongated mitochondria from undergoing fission. We further identified the interaction between the actin-regulating protein MDP25 and the mitochondrial outer membrane protein VDAC3 in actin remodeling and mediating actin-mitochondria interaction essential for mitochondrial fusion and elongation. Collectively, this study presents a mechanistic model for actin-dependent mitochondrial elongation and its significance for plant immunity.
