Could heat shock transcription factors function as hydrogen peroxide sensors in plants?
Review in Annals of botany, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 193 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundHeat shock transcription factors (Hsfs) are modular transcription factors encoded by a large gene family in plants. They bind to the consensus sequence 'nGAAnnTCCn' found in the promoters of many defence genes, and are thought to function as a highly redundant and flexible gene network that controls the response of plants to different environmental stress conditions, including biotic and abiotic stresses. Hsf proteins encoded by different genes exhibit a high degree of complexity in their interactions. They can potentially bind and activate their own promoters, as well as the promoters of other members of their gene family, and they can form homo- or heterotrimers resulting in altered nuclear localization, as well as enhanced or suppressed transcription. SCOPE: In this review, we summarize recent studies on Hsf function in Arabidopsis and tomato and present evidence obtained from microarray expression studies in Arabidopsis that the Hsf gene network is highly flexible and specialized, with specific members and/or member combinations controlling the response of plants to particular stress conditions. In addition, we describe recent studies that support the hypothesis that certain Hsfs function as molecular sensors that directly sense reactive oxygen species (ROS) and control the expression of oxidative stress response genes during oxidative stress.
