Calcium: just another regulator in the machinery of life?
Review in Annals of botany, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
unlabelled*
backgroundCurrent hypotheses imply that stimulus-response systems in plants are networks of signal transduction pathways. It is usually assumed that these pathways connect receptors with effectors via chains of molecular events. Diverse intermediate signalling components (transducers) participate in these processes. However, many cellular transducers respond to several stimuli. Hence, there are no discrete chains but rather pathways that interconnect network-modules of different command structure. In particular, the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+](cyt)) is thought to perform many different tasks in a wide range of cellular events. However, this range of putative functions is so wide that it is often questioned how Ca2+ can comply with the definition of a second messenger. *THE Ca2+ SIGNATURE HYPOTHESIS: Some authors have suggested the concept of a specific signature of the ([Ca2+](cyt)) response. This implies that characteristics of the time course of changes in ([Ca2+](cyt)) and their localized sites of appearance in cells are used by the plant to identify the type and intensity of the stimulus. This hypothesis has triggered many investigations, which have yielded contradictory results. * THE CURRENT PICTURE: Much evidence suggests that the functions of calcium can be grouped into three classes: Ca2+ as a protective agent, Ca2+ as a chemical switch and Ca2+ as a 'digital' information carrier. Examples of the first two classes are presented here. The third is more controversial; while some investigations seem to support this idea, others call the Ca2+ signature hypothesis into question. Further investigations are needed to shed more light on Ca(2+)-driven signalling cascades.
