Growth coordination and the shoot epidermis.
Review in Current opinion in plant biology, 2008. 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
Cell-cell communication is essential for growth and development of multicellular organisms. In higher plants, the shoot organs are derived from three clonally distinct cell layers present in the meristem. The role of the outermost L1 cell layer and its derived epidermis in coordinating growth of the inner-cell layers has long been debated. This question has been revisited recently using molecular tools to manipulate cell cycle progression or cell expansion, specifically in the epidermis. These studies conclude that cells in the epidermis both promote and restrict growth of the entire shoot by sending growth signals - either physical or chemical - to the inner layers.
