Statoliths and microfilaments in plant cells.
Article in Planta, 1989. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
Microfilaments have been demonstrated in rhizoids of Chara fragilis Desvaux by labelling of actin with rhodamine-conjugated phalloidin. Each rhizoid contains thick microfilament-bundles arranged longitudinally in the basal region. In the subapical and apical regions, much thinner bundles exist which contact the statoliths and encircle them in the form of a dense envelope. In root statocytes from Lepidium sativum L. the presence of an actin network is indicated by the fact that application of cytochalasin B (25 micrograms ml-1 for 4 h) results in an approximately threefold increase in the rate of statolith (amyloplast) sedimentation relative to controls. It is concluded that in gravity-perceiving plant cells statoliths may trigger the transduction mechanism via actin filaments.
