Oryzalin bodies: in addition to its anti-microtubule properties, the dinitroaniline herbicide oryzalin causes nodulation of the endoplasmic reticulum.
Article in Protoplasma, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Oryzalin is a much-used pre-emergence herbicide which causes microtubules (Mt) to depolymerize. Here, we document that this dinitroaniline herbicide also leads to characteristic changes in the morphology of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus. These effects, which are reversible upon washing out the herbicide, are already elicited at low concentrations (2 microM) and become most pronounced at 20 microM. For our studies, we have employed roots of Arabidopsis thaliana, tobacco leaf epidermal cells, and BY-2 suspension cultures, all expressing the luminal ER marker GFP::HDEL. In all cell types, the typical cortical network of the ER assumed a pronounced nodulated morphology with increasing oryzalin concentrations. This effect was enhanced through subsequent application of brefeldin A (BFA). Thin sections of Arabidopsis roots observed in the electron microscope revealed the nodules to consist of a mass of anastomosing ER tubules. Oryzalin also caused the cisternae in Golgi stacks to increase in number but reduced their diameter. Oryzalin retarded ER mobility but did not prevent latrunculin B-induced clustering of Golgi stacks on islands of cisternal ER. While the mechanism underlying these changes in endomembranes remains unknown, it is specific for oryzalin since these effects were not elicited with other Mt-depolymerizing herbicides, e.g., trifluralin, amiprophosmethyl, or colchicine.
