Changes in Hechtian strands in cold-hardened cells measured by optical microsurgery.
Article in Plant physiology, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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.
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
Optical microsurgical techniques were employed to investigate the mechanical properties of Hechtian strands in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and Ginkgo biloba callus cells. Using optical tweezers, a 1. 5-microm diameter microsphere coated with concanavalin A was inserted though an ablated hole in the cell wall of a plasmolyzed cell and attached to a Hechtian strand. By displacing the adhered microsphere from equilibrium using the optical trapping force, the tensions of individual strands were determined. Measurements were made using both normal and cold-hardened cells, and in both cases, tensions were on the order of 10(-12) N. Significant differences were found in the binding strengths of cold-hardened and normal cultured cells. An increased number density of strands in cold-hardened G. biloba compared with normal cultured cells was also observed. Although no Hechtian strands were detected in any Arabidopsis callus cells, strands were present in leaf epidermal cells. Finally, the movement of attached microspheres was monitored along the outside of a strand while cycling the osmotic pressure.
