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

key messageMyosin XI contributes to ABA-triggered stomatal closure via reactive oxygen species signaling and microtubule remodeling, boosting drought tolerance in Arabidopsis.. ABA is a key hormone induced by drought stress, and it can regulate stomatal closure through the homeostasis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and microtubule depolymerization in guard cells, which ultimately enhances plant drought resistance. In this study, we found that myosin XI double (2ko) and triple (3ko) mutants not only exhibited reduced drought resistance but also showed a weakened ABA response compared to the wild-type (WT). Through comprehensive phenotypic analysis and cellular observations, our experiments demonstrated that myosin XI plays a role in regulating ABA-induced ROS synthesis and microtubule depolymerization in guard cells, thereby facilitating stomatal closure, which minimizes leaf water loss while enhancing drought tolerance in Arabidopsis. This study provides novel insights into the role of myosin XI in abiotic stress responses by showing connections with fundamental ABA signaling pathways and broadens our understanding of myosin XI function in plants beyond its established roles in cytoplasmic streaming.
