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 (Arabidopsis) AT-HOOK MOTIF NUCLEAR LOCALIZED 15 (AHL15) gene is associated with various longevity phenotypes and extends the life span of plants when overexpressed. In this study, we show that, in addition to previously described longevity phenotypes, constitutive overexpression of AHL15 in Arabidopsis delays leaf senescence, whereas ahl15 loss of function accelerates this process. Dexamethasone-induced nuclear localization of AHL15-GR during dark-triggered senescence results in a stay-green phenotype and represses the expression of several early senescence-associated genes. Among these, the ORESARA1 (ORE1) locus is directly bound by AHL15, suggesting a direct delaying effect of AHL15 on senescence. Furthermore, we demonstrate that AHL15 acts by directly repressing the expression of several CYTOKININ OXIDASE (CKX) genes involved in cytokinin inactivation, resulting in delayed degradation of cytokinins during dark-induced senescence. Cytokinins are known to inhibit senescence, and this, together with the downregulation of ORE1 expression, explains the delaying effect of AHL15 on senescence.
