Genetic dissection of root formation in maize (Zea mays) reveals root-type specific developmental programmes.
Review in Annals of botany, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 92 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
backgroundMaize (Zea mays) forms a complex root system comprising embryonic and post-embryonic roots. The embryonically formed root system is made up of the primary root and a variable number of seminal roots. Later in development the post-embryonic shoot-borne root system becomes dominant and is responsible together with its lateral roots for the major portion of water and nutrient uptake. Although the anatomical structure of the different root-types is very similar they are initiated from different tissues during embryonic and post-embryonic development. Recently, a number of mutants specifically affected in maize root development have been identified. These mutants indicate that various root-type specific developmental programmes are involved in the establishment of the maize root stock. SCOPE: This review summarizes these genetic data in the context of the maize root morphology and anatomy and gives an outlook on possible perspectives of the molecular analysis of maize root formation.
