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
Actin filaments in guard cells and their dynamics function in regulating stomatal movement. In this study, the array and distribution of actin filaments in guard cells during stomatal movement were studied with two vital labeling, microinjection of alexa-phalloidin in Vicia faba and expression of GFP-mTn in tobacco. We found that the random array of actin filaments in the most of the closed stomata changed to a ring-like array after stomatal open. And actin filaments, which were throughout the cytoplasm of guard cells of closed stomata (even distribution), were mainly found in the cortical cytoplasm in the case of open stomata (cortical distribution). These results revealed that the random array and even distribution of actin filaments in guard cells may be required for keeping the closed stomata; similarly, the ring-like array and cortical distribution of actin filaments function in sustaining open stomata. Furthermore, we found that actin depolymerization, the trait of moving stomata, facilitates the transformation of actin array and distribution with stomatal movement. So, the depolymerization of actin filaments was favorable for the changes of actin array and distribution in guard cells and thus facilitated stomatal movement.
