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 time course of 13NH4+ uptake and the distribution of 13NH4+ among plant parts and subcellular compartments was determined for 3-week-old rice (Oryza sativa L. cv M202) plants grown hydroponically in modified Johnson's nutrient solution containing 2,100, or 1000 [mu]M NH4+ (referred to hereafter as G2, G100, or G1000 plants, respectively). At steady state, the influx of 13NH4+ was determined to be 1.31, 5.78, and 10.11 [mu]mol g-1 fresh weight h-1, respectively, for G2, G100, and G1000 plants; efflux was 11, 20, and 29%, respectively, of influx. The NH4+ flux to the vacuole was calculated to be between 1 and 1.4 [mu]mol g-1 fresh weight h-1. By means of 13NH4+ efflux analysis, three kinetically distinct phases (superficial, cell wall, and cytoplasm) were identified, with t1/2 for 13NH4+ exchange of approximately 3 s and 1 and 8 min, respectively. Cytoplasmic [NH4+] was estimated to be 3.72, 20.55, and 38.08 mM for G2, G100, and G1000 plants, respectively. These concentrations were higher than vacuolar [NH4+], yet 72 to 92% of total root NH4+ was located in the vacuole. Distributions of newly absorbed 13NH4+ between plant parts and among the compartments were also examined. During a 30-min period G100 plants metabolized 19% of the influxed 13NH4+. The remainder (81%) was partitioned among the vacuole (20%), cytoplasm (41%), and efflux (20%). Of the metabolized 13N, roughly one-half was translocated to the shoots.
