WRKY Transcription Factors in Response to Metal Stress in Plants: A Review.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Heavy metals in soil can inflict direct damage on plants growing within it, adversely affecting their growth height, root development, leaf area, and other physiological traits. To counteract the toxic impacts of heavy metals on plant growth and development, plants mitigate heavy metal stress through mechanisms such as metal chelation, vacuolar compartmentalization, regulation of transporters, and enhancement of antioxidant functions. WRKY transcription factors (TFs) play a crucial role in plant growth and development as well as in responses to both biotic and abiotic stresses; notably, heavy metal stress is classified as an abiotic stressor. An increasing number of studies have highlighted the significant role of WRKY proteins in regulating heavy metal stress across various levels. Upon the entry of heavy metal ions into plant root cells, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is triggered, leading to the phosphorylation and activation of WRKY TFs through MAPK cascade signaling. Activated WRKY TFs then modulate various physiological processes by upregulating or downregulating the expression of downstream genes to confer heavy metal tolerance to plants. This review provides an overview of the research advancements regarding WRKY TFs in regulating heavy metal ion stress-including cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As), copper (Cu)-and aluminum (Al) toxicity.
