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

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate plant growth and stress responses. Catalases play a central role in detoxifying hydrogen peroxide, predominantly within peroxisomes, yet key aspects of catalase regulation remain incompletely understood. Using affinity purification of the UV-B photoreceptor UVR8 coupled with mass spectrometry, we identified CATALASE-INTERACTING RCC1-LIKE 1 (CAIR1), which interacts with all three Arabidopsis catalases and their chaperone NO CATALASE ACTIVITY 1. Loss of CAIR1 reduces catalase activity and causes oxidative stress sensitivity, impaired root growth, and alkaline sensitivity, resembling cat2 and nca1 mutants. CAIR1 promotes peroxisomal import and proper localization of CAT2, preventing CAT2 aggregation and maintaining its activity. CAIR1 undergoes reversible redox-dependent oligomerization that enhances catalase binding, whereas mutation of Cys-356 and Cys-545 compromises this interaction and fails to rescue the oxidative stress sensitivity of cair1 mutants. UV-B weakens CAIR1-catalase interactions and suppresses catalase activity, linking light signalling with redox homeostasis. These findings identify CAIR1 as a redox-responsive regulator of catalase localization and activity.
