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

The rice mutant Yin-Yang has been selected during a screen for resistance to cytoskeletal drugs and is characterized by alterations in epidermal cell length and a precocious onset of gravitropism. The elongation response of coleoptile segments to auxin does not reveal changes of auxin sensitivity in Yin-Yang. However, in contrast to the wild type, cell elongation in Yin-Yang is highly sensitive to the actin-polymerisation blocker cytochalasin D. This increased sensitivity to cytochalasin D requires optimal concentrations of auxin to become manifest. The auxin response of actin microfilaments in epidermal cells differs between wild type and mutant. In the wild type, the longitudinal microfilament bundles become loosened in response to auxin. In the mutant, these bundles disintegrate partially and are replaced by a network of short filaments surrounding the nucleus. Several aspects of the mutant phenotype can be mimicked in the wild type by treatment with cytochalasin D. The mutant phenotype is discussed in terms of signal-dependent changes of actin dynamics and the putative role of actin during cell elongation.
