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 chilling stability of microtubules was investigated in root-tip cells of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) using immunofluorescence labeling and a confocal laser scanning microscope. After low temperature (4 degrees C) treatment for 5 h, we found not only chilling-stable cortical microtubules under the plasma membrane of the root-tip cells, but also chilling-stable punctate microtubules in the cytoplasm, which might be the microtubules associated with organelles. 6-Dimethylaminopurine (6-DMAP), an inhibitor of protein kinase, reduced the chilling stability of the cortical microtubules in the cells. When the root-tip cells were restored to normal growth temperature (28 degrees C), the recovery of the microtubules seemed to be closely associated with the microtubules still remaining in these cells after chilling treatment.
