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 effects of aluminium on the actin filament (AF) cytoskeleton of Triticum turgidum meristematic root tip cells were examined. In short treatments (up to 2 h) with 50-1000 microM AlCl3.6H2O, interphase cells displayed numerous AFs arrayed in thick bundles that lined the plasmalemma and traversed the endoplasm in different directions. Measurements using digital image analysis and assessment of the overall AF fluorescence revealed that, in short treatments, the affected cells possessed 25-30% more AFs than the untreated ones. The thick AF bundles were not formed in the Al-treated cells in the presence of the myosin inhibitors 2,3-butanedione monoxime (BDM) and 1-(5-iodonaphthalene-1-sulfonyl)-1H-hexahydro-1,4-diazepine (ML-7), a fact suggesting that myosins are involved in AF bundling. In longer Al treatments, the AF bundles were disorganised, forming granular actin accumulations, a process that was completed after 4 h of treatment. In the Al-treated cells, increased amounts of callose were uniformly deposited along the whole surface of the cell walls. In contrast, callose formed local deposits in the Al-treated cells in the presence of cytochalasin B, BDM, or ML-7. These results favour the hypothesis that the actomyosin system in the Al-treated cells, among other roles, participates in the mechanism controlling callose deposition.
