Ethylene Biosynthesis during Aerenchyma Formation in Roots of Maize Subjected to Mechanical Impedance and Hypoxia.
Article in Plant physiology, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 45 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
Germinated maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings were enclosed in modified triaxial cells in an artificial substrate and exposed to oxygen deficiency stress (4% oxygen, hypoxia) or to mechanical resistance to elongation growth (mechanical impedance) achieved by external pressure on the artificial substrate, or to both hypoxia and impedance simultaneously. Compared with controls, seedlings that received either hypoxia or mechanical impedance exhibited increased rates of ethylene evolution, greater activities of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase, ACC oxidase, and cellulase, and more cell death and aerenchyma formation in the root cortex. Effects of hypoxia plus mechanical impedance were strongly synergistic on ethylene evolution and ACC synthase activity; cellulase activity, ACC oxidase activity, or aerenchyma formation did not exhibit this synergism. In addition, the lag between the onset of stress and increases in both ACC synthase activity and ethylene production was shortened by 2 to 3 h when mechanical impedance or impedance plus hypoxia was applied compared with hypoxia alone. The synergistic effects of hypoxia and mechanical impedance and the earlier responses to mechanical impedance than to hypoxia suggest that different mechanisms are involved in the promotive effects of these stresses on maize root ethylene biosynthesis.
