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

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetically controlled process used to prevent self-pollination. In Papaver rhoeas, the induction of SI is triggered by a Ca(2)+-dependent signaling pathway that results in the rapid and S allele-specific inhibition of pollen tube tip growth. Tip growth of cells is dependent on a functioning actin cytoskeleton. We have investigated the effect of self-incompatibility (S) proteins on the actin cytoskeleton in poppy pollen tubes. Here, we report that the actin cytoskeleton of incompatible pollen tubes is rapidly and dramatically rearranged during the SI response, not only in our in vitro SI system but also in vivo. We demonstrate that nonspecific inhibition of growth does not result in similar actin rearrangements. Because the SI-induced alterations are not observed if growth stops, this clearly demonstrates that these alterations are triggered by the SI signaling cascade rather than merely resulting from the consequent inhibition of growth. We establish a detailed time course of events and discuss the mechanisms that might be involved. Our data strongly implicate a role for the actin cytoskeleton as a target for signaling pathways involved in the SI response of P. rhoeas.
