Lithium decreases cold-induced microtubule depolymerization in mesophyll cells of spinach.
Article in Plant physiology, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Freezing, dehydration, and supercooling cause microtubules in mesophyll cells of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. cv Bloomsdale) to depolymerize (ME Bartolo, JV Carter [1991] Plant Physiol 97: 175-181). The objective of this study was to gain insight into the question of whether microtubules depolymerize as a direct response to environmental stresses or as an indirect response to cellular changes that accompany the stresses. Leaf sections of spinach were treated with Li(+) before and during exposure to low temperature. Treatment with Li(+) decreased the amount of microtubule depolymerization in cells subjected to low temperature, relative to a nontreated control, raising the possibility that the microtubules in these cells may not be inherently cold labile. Rather, microtubule depolymerization may be in response to cold-induced changes in concentration of cytoplasmic components.
