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

Prunus sibirica L., an economically and ecologically significant Asian endemic species, faces severe pathogenic threats, yet its disease resistance mechanisms remain poorly understood. Using RNA-seq of pathogen-infected leaves, we identified PsWRKY75 as a potential resistance gene. Heterologous overexpression in poplars showed that PsWRKY75 enhanced disease resistance, promoting lignin and H₂O₂ accumulation in leaves. Through RNA-seq and promoter analysis, PsWRKY75 was identified as an upstream regulator of the H₂O₂-producing gene PsRbohB and lignin biosynthesis gene PsLFP1, validated by yeast one-hybrid, EMSA, and dual luciferase assays. Pathogen infection upregulates PsWRKY75, which directly activates PsRbohB and PsLFP1 to enhance lignin/H₂O₂ accumulation, thereby strengthening disease resistance. This study reveals PsWRKY75 as a novel integrator of H₂O₂ signaling and lignin biosynthesis, providing genetic resources for woody plant disease resistance improvement via physiological and biochemical engineering.
