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

Vascular plants and metazoans use selective proteolysis to control responses to hypoxia, although through distinct biochemical mechanisms. The reason for this divergence is puzzling, since the molecular components necessary for both strategies are conserved. To explore the alternative scenario where plants and animals respond to hypoxia through the same mechanisms, we engineer a three-components system aimed to target proteins for degradation in an oxygen dependent manner in Arabidopsis thaliana. When used to control transcription, the synthetic system partially restores hypoxia responsiveness in oxygen-insensitive mutants. Additionally, we demonstrate its potential to regulate growth under flood-induced hypoxia. Our work highlights the use of synthetic biology to reprogramme signalling pathways, providing insights into the evolution of oxygen sensing and offering tools for crop improvement under stress conditions.
