Genetics of microenvironmental canalization in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 65 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
Canalization is a fundamental feature of many developmental systems, yet the genetic basis for this property remains elusive. We examine the genetic basis of microenvironmental canalization in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, focusing on differential developmental stability between genotypes in one fitness and four quantitative morphological traits. We measured developmental stability in genetically identical replicates of two populations of recombinant inbred (RI) lines and one population of geographically widespread accessions of A. thaliana grown in two different photoperiod-controlled environments. We were able to map quantitative trait loci associated with developmental stability. We also identified a candidate gene, ERECTA, that may contribute to microenvironmental canalization in rosette leaf number under long-day photoperiods, and analysis of mutant lines indicates that the er-105 allele results in increased canalization for this trait. ERECTA, which encodes a signaling protein, appears to act as an ecological amplifier by transducing developmental noise (e.g., microenvironmental variation) into phenotypic differentiation. We also measured genotypic selection on four plant architecture traits and find evidence for selection for both increased and decreased canalization at various traits.
