Molecular mechanisms of urea transport in plants.
Review in The Journal of membrane biology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers.
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
Urea is a soil nitrogen form available to plant roots and a secondary nitrogen metabolite liberated in plant cells. Based on growth complementation of yeast mutants and "in-silico analysis", two plant families have been identified and partially characterized that mediate membrane transport of urea in heterologous expression systems. AtDUR3 is a single Arabidopsis gene belonging to the sodium solute symporter family that cotransports urea with protons at high affinity, while members of the tonoplast intrinsic protein (TIP) subfamily of aquaporins transport urea in a channel-like manner. The following review summarizes current knowledge on the membrane localization, energetization and regulation of these two types of urea transporters and discusses their possible physiological roles in planta.
