Two class XI myosins function in organelle trafficking and root hair development in Arabidopsis.
Article in Plant physiology, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 116 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
Multigene families encoding class XI myosins are conserved in higher plants, however, little information is available on specific functions of these ubiquitous molecular motors. We isolated gene knockout mutants for all 13 class XI myosins present in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genome. Inactivation of 11 myosin genes resulted in no discernible phenotypes under the normal growth conditions. In contrast, the knockouts of the remaining two myosin genes, XI-2 (formerly MYA2) and XI-K, exhibited similar defects in root hair elongation suggesting that the myosin-driven motility plays a significant role in a polar tip growth. Strikingly, inactivation of each of these myosins also reduced trafficking of Golgi stacks, peroxisomes, and mitochondria in root hairs and in leaf epidermal cells. These results indicate that myosins XI-K and XI-2 play major and overlapping roles in the cell dynamics in Arabidopsis and highlight the redundant nature of myosin function in plants.
