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 diseases cause dramatic economic loss, posing a major challenge to modern agriculture. Plant pathogenic organisms secret effectors that utilize fascinating and intricate stratagems to facilitate infection. The consequences of plant-pathogen interactions are largely determined by effectors. The effector research has made great strides since its inception in the 1990s and the importance of effectors is increasingly noticed. Molecular investigation of effectors has provided critical insights into how plant pathogens manipulate their hosts to cause diseases. Thus far, numerous excellent reviews concerning effectors have focused on their targeting host pathways, recognition by host receptors, and evasion mechanisms, but few have ever summarized all known effector action modes. Here, we distinguish ten different stratagems of effector function from all types of pathogens, including damage, inhibition, hijacking, promotion, subversion, mimicry, reprogramming, evasion, decoying, and adaption. Furthermore, we discuss examples of these ten stratagems, refine the effector definition, and propose future directions of phytopathogenic effector research.
