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

Real-time monitoring of plant immune responses is crucial for understanding plant immunity and mitigating economic losses from pathogen and pest attacks. However, current methods relying on molecular-level assessment are destructive and time-consuming. Here, we report an ultrathin, substrate-free, and highly conductive electronic tattoo (e-tattoo) designed for plants, enabling immune response monitoring through non-invasive electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The e-tattoo's biocompatibility, high conductivity, and sub-100 nm thickness allow it to conform to leaf tissue morphology and provide robust impedance data. We demonstrate continuous EIS analysis of live transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants for over 24 h, capturing the onset of NLR-mediated acute immune responses within three hours post-induction, prior to visible symptoms. RNA-seq and tissue ion leakage tests validate that EIS data accurately represent the physiological and molecular changes associated with immune activation. This non-invasive tissue-assessment technology has the potential to enhance our comprehension of immune activation mechanisms in plants and paves the way for real-time monitoring for plant health management.
