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

Chloroplasts are important sites of metabolite biosynthesis, including precursors of the defense-related phytohormone salicylic acid (SA). Chloroplastic reactive oxygen species (cROS) have previously been shown to contribute significantly to disease resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana L. (Heyn). To understand the function of cROS in plant immunity, we coupled confocal cROS imaging with gene expression, mass spectrometry, and hyperspectral imaging analysis. Here, we show that cROS production correlates with the onset of SA biosynthesis and that abrogating cROS production during immune elicitation prevents the initiation of SA-dependent, but not SA-independent, immune responses. Furthermore, we show that the Pseudomonas syringae effector proteins HopM1 and AvrE1 suppress cROS production, contributing to virulence by facilitating the induction of water-soaking lesions through immune inhibition. We propose that certain ROS produced in the chloroplasts serve as triggers for the induction of the SA signaling cascade in plants and that they are targeted by a conserved family of pathogen effector proteins.
