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

The initiation of light signaling involves the formation of phyB nuclear photobodies (PBs). The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the sole gate for macromolecule transport between the cytoplasm and nucleus; however, its role in phyB PB formation and light signal transduction remains unclear. Here, we identify Nup96, a nucleoporin in the NPC subcomplex Nup107-160, as a key regulator that promotes plant photomorphogenesis. Nup96 interacts with phyB at the nuclear envelope to facilitate phyB PB formation and enhance phyB activity. Moreover, this interaction promotes phyB-PIF5 association, thereby facilitating PIF5 degradation. Notably, knocking out PIF5 fully rescues the hypocotyl phenotype of nup96-1. Further analyses identify an E3 ligase, HIGH EXPRESSION OF OSMOTICALLY RESPONSIVE GENES 1 (HOS1), which interacts with PIF5 to promote its degradation via the 26S proteasome pathway. Collectively, our study elucidates a mechanism by which Nup96 promotes PIF5 degradation by enhancing phyB activity and stabilizing HOS1, thereby ensuring precise light-regulated growth in plants.
