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

To find components which participate in gravitropic signal transmission, we screened different cell biological inhibitors for their effect on gravitropic bending of rice coleoptiles. Acrylamide, which is known to affect intermediate filaments in mammalian cells, strongly inhibited gravitropic bending at concentrations that did not inhibit growth of coleoptile segments. This inhibition was reversible. Investigating the acrylamide effect further, we found that it interferes with an event that occurs around 15 min after the onset of stimulation. We also observed that acrylamide inhibits polar indolyl-3-acetic acid transport. Furthermore, acrylamide efficiently eliminated microtubules, whereas actin filaments remained intact. To our knowledge this is the first report of effects of monoacrylamide in plant cells.
