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

In plants, directional cell expansion greatly contributes to the final shape of mature cells, and thus to organ architecture. A particularly interesting mode of cell expansion is helical growth in which the growth axis is continuously tilted either to the right or to the left as the cell grows. Fixed handedness of helical growth raises fundamental questions on the possible origin of left-right asymmetry. Twisting mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana offer unique opportunities to study the cellular basis of helical growth. Most of the twisting mutants with fixed handedness have been shown to have defects in microtubule functions, whereas mutants that twist in non-fixed directions appear to be defective in auxin response or transport. Good correlations have been found between the tilted growth direction and alignment of cortical microtubule arrays in twisting mutants with compromised microtubule functions. The present challenge is to understand how particular array patterns are organized during progression of the interphase in rapidly expanding cells. Molecular and cell biological studies on twisting mutants will lead to better understanding on how wild-type plant cells utilize the microtubule cytoskeleton to initiate and rigorously maintain straight growth.
