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

Stomatal closure allows plants to conserve water by reducing transpiration during drought. Surprisingly, the assimilation of the macronutrient sulfur is intimately connected to the drought stress response. This Tansley insight will only briefly touch on the general impact of sulfate assimilation on the production of drought-response metabolites. Instead, the emphasis will be on the unexpected role of cysteine in triggering guard cell-autonomous abscisic acid biosynthesis in response to diverse drought-associated stresses. A particular focus will be on identifying the chloroplast-localized cysteine synthase complex as a sensor hub that integrates long-distance soil-drying signals and local high-light signals to mediate stress-induced stomatal closure. Furthermore, we will discuss the emerging role of cysteine-derived sulfide as a signal in stomatal closure.
