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

The Arabidopsis thaliana PHOSPHATE 1 (PHO1) was first identified as an inorganic phosphate (Pi) exporter mediating Pi loading into the root xylem. PHO1 is the prototypical member of a family of eukaryotic proteins possessing both an SPX and EXS domain. Recent cryo-EM structures of both the Arabidopsis PHO1 homolog PHO1;H1 and its mammalian ortholog Xenotropic and Polytropic Retrovirus Receptor 1 (XPR1), revealed that these proteins work as Pi channels that use a double-gated mechanism controlled by inositol polyphosphate. Key amino acids involved in binding Pi and gating the channel are highly conserved in PHO1 homolog throughout eukaryote superphyla, including in unicellular organisms, indicating a possible conservation of function during evolution. Beyond their structural homology, both plant and animal PHO1 ortholog are primarily localized to intracellular vesicles, raising interesting questions about the cell biology of Pi export. Arabidopsis PHO1 also contributes to the response of guard cells and seeds to abscisic acid (ABA) through yet unknown mechanisms. In this review, we will highlight how the recently gained knowledge about PHO1 and XPR1 structure and its cell biology is shaping our views about how these proteins contribute to Pi homeostasis at the cellular and organismal levels.
