Post-translational modifications of alpha-tubulin in Zea mays L are highly tissue specific.
Article in Planta, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
To further understand post-translational modifications (PTMs) of plant alpha-tubulin, post-translationally modified alpha-tubulin isoforms from selected tissues of Zea mays L. were examined using two-dimensional electrophoresis and immunoblotting. Except for polyglycylated tubulin, tyrosinated, detyrosinated, acetylated and polyglutamylated alpha-tubulin isoforms were all present in maize tissues. Tyrosinated alpha-tubulin was the predominant variant in all cases, with isoforms alpha1-alpha4 (alpha5) being the most common components. Leaves exhibited a striking difference in PTM patterns of alpha-tubulin isoforms compared to other tissues examined. In leaves, several major specific isoforms were highly modified by detyrosination, acetylation and polyglutamylation. In pollen and anthers, only the most abundant isoform alpha3 was acetylated to an appreciable extent, and no acetylated isoform was found in roots. Similarly, in pollen, anthers and roots, only alpha3 was appreciably polyglutamylated. Additionally, a detyrosinated isoform alpha6 was present in anthers and in leaves, while the tyrosinated isoform alpha6 seemed to be pollen specific. These results indicate that certain types of PTM of plant alpha-tubulin preferentially occur in a tissue-specific way.
