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

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase has been reported to be important for normal plant growth. To characterize the role of the enzyme further, we attempted to isolate Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) plants that do not express the gene, but we could not recover homozygous mutant plants. The progeny of VPS34/vps34 heterozygous plants, harboring a T-DNA insertion, showed a segregation ratio of 1:1:0 for wild-type, heterozygous, and homozygous mutant plants, indicating a gametophytic defect. Genetic transmission analysis showed that the abnormal segregation ratio was due to failure to transmit the mutant allele through the male gametophyte. Microscopic observation revealed that 2-fold higher proportions of pollen grains in heterozygous plants than wild-type plants were dead or showed reduced numbers of nuclei. Many mature pollen grains from the heterozygous plants contained large vacuoles even until the mature pollen stage, whereas pollen from wild-type plants contained many small vacuoles beginning from the vacuolated pollen stage, which indicated that vacuoles in many of the heterozygous mutant pollen did not undergo normal fission after the first mitotic division. Taken together, our results suggest that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase is essential for vacuole reorganization and nuclear division during pollen development.
