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

Water loss from plants is determined by the aperture of stomatal pores in the leaf epidermis, set by the level of vacuolar accumulation of potassium salt, and hence volume and turgor, of a pair of guard cells. Regulation of ion fluxes across the tonoplast, the key to regulation of stomatal aperture, can only be studied by tracer flux measurements. There are two transport systems in the tonoplast. The first is a Ca(2+)-activated channel, inhibited by phenylarsine oxide (PAO), responsible for the release of vacuolar K(+)(Rb(+)) in response to the "drought" hormone, abscisic acid (ABA). This channel is sensitive to pressure, down-regulated at low turgor and up-regulated at high turgor, providing a system for turgor regulation. ABA induces a transient stimulation of vacuolar ion efflux, during which the flux tracks the ion content (volume, turgor), suggesting ABA reduces the set-point of a control system. The second system, which is PAO-insensitive, is responsible for an ion flux from vacuole to cytoplasm associated with inward water flow following a hypo-osmotic transfer. It is suggested that this involves an aquaporin as sensor, and perhaps also as responder; deformation of the aquaporin may render it ion-permeable, or, alternatively, the deformed aquaporin may signal to an associated ion channel, activating it. Treatment with inhibitors of aquaporins, HgCl(2) or silver sulfadiazine, produces a large transient increase in ion release from the vacuole, also PAO-insensitive. It is suggested that this involves the same aquaporin, either rendered directly ion-permeable, or signalling to activate an associated ion channel.
