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 permeability of the plasma membrane (PM) and the vacuolar membrane (VM) is important for intracellular and transcellular water movement in plants, because mature plant cells have large central vacuoles. We have developed a new method for measuring the osmotic water permeability of the PM and VM (P ( f1) and P ( f2), respectively) in individual plant cells. Here, the theoretical basis and procedure of the method are discussed. Protoplasts isolated from higher plant tissues are used to measure P ( f1) and P ( f2). Because of the semi-permeability (selective permeability) of cellular membranes, protoplasts swell or shrink under hypotonic or hypertonic conditions. A theoretical three-compartment model is presented for simulating time-dependent volume changes in the vacuolar and cytoplasmic spaces in a protoplast during osmotic excursions. The model describes the theoretical relationships between P ( f1), P ( f2) and the bulk osmotic water permeability of protoplasts (P ( f(bulk))). The procedure for measuring the osmotic water permeability is: (1) P ( f(bulk)) is calculated from the time when half of the total change in protoplast volume is completed, by assuming that the protoplast has a single barrier to water movement across it (two-compartment model); (2) P ( f2) of vacuoles isolated from protoplasts is obtained in the same manner; and (3) P ( f1) is determined from P ( f(bulk)) and P ( f2) according to the three-compartment model. The theoretical relationship between P ( fl ) (m s(-1)) and L ( Pl ) (hydraulic conductivity, l=1, 2) (m s(-1) Pa(-1)) is also discussed.
