Gametic embryos of maize as a target for biolistic transformation: comparison to immature zygotic embryos.
Article in Plant cell reports, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The aim of the present study was to determine the suitability of maize gametic embryos of three ETH genotypes as a target for biolistic transformation. We studied parameters considered essential for a successful transformation, such as the frequency of secondary embryo formation, their regeneration ability and the transient transgene expression. Transformable zygotic embryos of one of the ETH genotypes were used as positive control. Our results indicate that gametic embryos can potentially be transformed by particle bombardment, since they responded positively to all the studied parameters, although with lower efficiencies than the zygotic embryos. In particular, differences were found in the rate of secondary embryogenesis and the density of transformed cells.
