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

Polar transport of the plant hormone auxin is blocked by substances such as N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid (NPA), which inhibit auxin efflux and block polar auxin transport. To understand how auxin transport is regulated in vivo, it is necessary to discern whether auxin transport inhibitors act at the intra- or extracellular side of the plasma membrane. Populations of predominantly in-side-in plasma membrane vesicles were subjected to treatments that reverse the orientation. These treatments, which included osmotic shock, cycles of freezing and thawing, and incubation with 0.05% Brij-58, all increased NPA-binding activity and the accessibility of the binding protein to protease digestion. Marker activities for inside-out vesicles also increased, indicating that these treatments act by altering the membrane orientation. Finally, binding data were analyzed by multiple analyses and indicated that neither the affinity nor abundance of binding sites changed. Kinetic analyses indicated that the change in NPA-binding activity by Brij-58 treatment was due to an increase in the initial rates of both association and dissociation of this ligand. These experiments indicated that the NPA-binding site is on the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane in zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L. cv Burpee Fordhook).
