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

The ability of plant cells to dedifferentiate represents an important survival strategy invoked in a range of situations from repair mechanisms following wounding to apomixis. Dedifferentiation requires that somatic cells reprogram and enter the cell division cycle. This in turn necessitates the accurate partitioning of nuclear content and organelles, such as chloroplasts, to daughter cells, thereby ensuring continuity of cellular information systems. The distribution of cytoplasm and its organelle content in mature plant cells is governed by a large, central vacuole, with connections between distant cortical and perinuclear cytoplasmic domains mediated by transvacuolar strands. Here we examined the changes to vacuolar architecture in Arabidopsis thaliana protoplasts expressing a green-fluorescent protein fusion to a delta-tonoplast-intrinsic protein (deltaTIP). We found that vacuolar architecture became increasingly intricate during protoplast culture with the development of numerous transvacuolar strands. The development of an intricate vacuolar architecture was an actin filament- and not microtubule-dependent process, as is the case in interphase plant cells. Furthermore, we show that myosin is required for this increased complexity of vacuolar architecture and the formation of subcortical actin filament arrays. Despite the likelihood that increased vacuolar invagination would allow better redistribution of cytoplasmic organelles, we found that repositioning of chloroplasts from cortical to perinuclear cytoplasm was not dependent on transvacuolar strands. Our findings indicate that the vacuole is a dynamic entity that develops a complex architecture before dedifferentiating plant cells enter cell division.
