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
The mechanistic basis for Al toxicity effects on root growth is still a matter of speculation, but it almost certainly involves decreased cell division at the root apex. In this series of experiments, we attempt to determine whether Al enters meristematic cells and binds to nuclei when roots are exposed to a low Al(3+) activity in solution. The methodology involved the use of the Al-sensitive stain lumogallion (3-[2,4 dihydroxyphenylazo]-2-hydroxy-5-chlorobenzene sulfonic acid), the DNA stain 4',6-diamino-phenylindole, and confocal laser scanning microscopy. Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) cv Young (Al-sensitive) and PI 416937 (Al-tolerant) genotypes were exposed to 1.45 microM Al(3+) for periods ranging from 30 min to 72 h, and then washed with 10 mM citrate to remove apoplastic Al. Fluorescence images show that within 30 min Al entered cells of the sensitive genotype and accumulated at nuclei in the meristematic region of the root tip. Substantial Al also was present at the cell periphery. The images indicated that the Al-tolerant genotype accumulated lower amounts of Al in meristematic and differentiating cells of the root tip and their cell walls. Collectively, the results support an important role for exclusion in Al tolerance.
