Decoding MAPK cascades in plant immunity: Activation, regulation, integration, and pathogen manipulation.
Review in Journal of integrative plant biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK/MPK) cascades are conserved signaling modules that play crucial roles in plant growth, reproduction, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. Many breakthroughs have been made recently in understanding the functional and regulatory mechanisms involving MAPK cascades in plant immunity. In this review, we summarize the conserved composition and activation of MAPK cascades and update advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms by which plants maintain or inhibit MAPK activation. We also highlight the functional links between MAPK activation and other immune events, suggesting crosstalk in the plant immune signaling network. Furthermore, we outline the strategies by which pathogen effectors inhibit plant immunity by manipulating MAPK signaling and illuminate the contribution of MAPK cascades to effector-triggered immunity. Overall, this review provides major evidence for understanding the importance and complexity of MAPK signaling and reveals that the MAPK cascade serves as an essential signaling hub in activating plant immunity.
