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

Cold stress substantially affects plant growth and productivity. Chloroplasts are primary sites for the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and biosynthesis of the defense hormone salicylic acid (SA) under environmental stress conditions. However, the mechanisms by which plants integrate ROS and SA signaling to adapt to stress remain elusive. Here, we report that Arabidopsis FILAMENTOUS TEMPERATURE-SENSITIVE H5/YELLOW VARIEGATED1 (FtsH5/VAR1), a thylakoid-localized ATP-dependent zinc metalloprotease, is essential for plant cold-stress tolerance. The var1-1 mutant exhibits pronounced chlorosis and variegation, as well as retarded growth under cold stress conditions. We observed a strong correlation between elevated SA biosynthesis/signaling and the cold-sensitive phenotype of var1. Reducing SA accumulation, either by overexpressing the salicylate hydroxylase gene (NahG) or knocking out SA biosynthesis-related genes (ICS1, EDS1, or PAD4), partially suppressed the chlorosis phenotype of var1. Furthermore, we demonstrated that EXECUTOR1 (EX1)-mediated singlet oxygen (
