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 archegonium chamber in Ginkgo biloba L. is a pathway for spermatozoids swimming towards the archegonium for fertilization. The objective of this study was to elucidate the mechanism of archegonium chamber formation. The terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling assay and DNA ladder demonstrated that the nucellar cell death, coordinated with the archegonium chamber formation, was a process of programmed cell death. Cytochemical localization of Ca(2+) in these nucellar cells was determined by means of in situ precipitation with potassium pyroantimonate and electron microscopic visualization, in order to study the relation between Ca(2+) and programmed cell death. The results showed an early uptake of the mitochondrial calcium particles in the nucellar cells undergoing programmed cell death. Together with other dynamic changes in Ca(2+) subcellular distribution, this indicates that Ca(2+) may play a role in the regulation of mitochondria-mediated programmed events in the nucellar cells.
