Role of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase in auxin-induced elongation growth: historical and new aspects.
Article in Journal of plant research, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 146 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
This article will cover historical and recent aspects of reactions and mechanisms involved in the auxin-induced signalling cascade that terminates in the dramatic elongation growth of cells and plant organs. Massive evidence has accumulated that the final target of auxin action is the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase, which excretes H(+) ions into the cell wall compartment and, in an antiport, takes up K(+) ions through an inwardly rectifying K(+) channel. The auxin-enhanced H(+) pumping lowers the cell wall pH, activates pH-sensitive enzymes and proteins within the wall, and initiates cell-wall loosening and extension growth. These processes, induced by auxin or by the "super-auxin" fusicoccin, can be blocked instantly and specifically by a voltage inhibition of the H(+)-ATPase due to removal of K(+) ions or the addition of K(+)-channel blockers. Vice versa, H(+) pumping and growth are immediately switched on by addition of K(+) ions. Furthermore, the treatment of segments either with auxin or with fusicoccin (which activates the H(+)-ATPase irreversibly) or with acid buffers (from outside) causes an identical transformation and degradation pattern of cell wall constituents during cell-wall loosening and growth. These and other results described below are in agreement with the acid-growth theory of elongation growth. However, objections to this theory are also discussed.
