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

Aquaporins (AQPs) are channel proteins belonging to the major intrinsic protein (MIP) superfamily that mediate the transport of water and other small uncharged molecules across biological membranes. They play essential roles in maintaining cellular homeostasis during plant growth and environmental adaptation. Studies on the molecular regulation of AQP expression and post-translational modification have unveiled an exquisite panorama. The expression of AQP genes is dynamically regulated in response to external and internal signals. Stress- and development-responsive transcription factors (TFs) from AP2/ERF, MYB, NAC, and WRKY families, govern the transcriptional reprogramming in response to drought, salinity stress and/or developmental cues. Besides, post-translational modifications (PTMs), such as residue-specific phosphorylation by kinases (e.g., CPKs, SnRK2s) and ubiquitination by E3 ligases (e.g., AtRma1, OsHIR1), precisely modulate AQP activity and/or stability. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms of transcriptional regulation and PTM-driven fine-tuning of AQPs, emphasizing their important roles in optimizing plant growth resilience under fluctuating environmental conditions.
