Knocking out a wall-associated kinase gene enhances rice resistance to planthoppers in the field.
Article in Pest management science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundWall-associated kinases (WAKs) play an important role in regulating plant growth, development, as well as responses to abiotic stresses and pathogens. However, their roles in plant resistance to herbivorous insects were largely unclear.
resultsWe cloned a rice WAK gene, OsWAK28, and found that its expression was induced by the infestation of the brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens) but suppressed by mechanical wounding and treatment with methyl jasmonate (MeJA), salicylic acid (SA), or abscisic acid (ABA). Knocking out OsWAK28 enhanced the levels of BPH-induced jasmonic acid, jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine, ABA, SA, and H
conclusionOur results demonstrate that OsWAK28 is involved in the interaction between rice and planthoppers, negatively regulating rice resistance to planthoppers. The work provides a potential new approach for breeding rice varieties resistant to planthoppers. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
