Plant sigma factors and their role in plastid transcription.
Review in Plant cell reports, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 41 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
Plant sigma factors determine the promoter specificity of the major RNA polymerase of plastids and thus regulate the first level of plastome gene expression. In plants, sigma factors are encoded by a small family of nuclear genes, and it is not yet clear if the family members are functionally redundant or each paralog plays a particular role. The review presents the analysis of the information on plant sigma factors obtained since their discovery a decade ago and focuses on similarities and differences in structure and functions of various paralogs. Special attention is paid to their interaction with promoters, the regulation of their expression, and their role in the development of a whole plant. The analysis suggests that though plant sigma factors are basically similar, at least some of them perform distinct functions. Finally, the work presents the scheme of this gene family evolution in higher plants.
