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

Plant-colonizing mutualistic symbionts confer beneficial effects to their hosts, which often includes increased growth as well as biotic and abiotic stress resilience. How these benefits are activated on a molecular level is mostly unknown. Here, we describe effector candidates of the fungal symbiont Serendipita indica (Si), which modulate plant stress signaling pathways. By analyzing the Si effector interactome, we reveal frequent targeting of stress-related host proteins, which are linked to the identified effector signaling functions. Moreover, functional data indicate that Si effectors modulate abiotic stress response of Arabidopsis, as well as resistance to pathogen infection. Analysis of symbiont effectors might not only uncover previously unreported molecular mechanisms that increase plant fitness but might also be used to identify potential genetic traits for crop improvement under changing climates.
