Article in Plant signaling & behavior, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
In tip-growing plant cells such as pollen tubes and root hairs, surface expansion is confined to the cell apex. Vesicles containing pectic cell wall material are delivered to this apical region to provide the material necessarily to build the expanding cell wall. Quantification of wall expansion reveals that the surface expansion rates are not highest at the pole but instead in an annular region around the pole. These findings raise the question of the precise localization of exocytosis events in these cells. Recently, we used spatio-temporal image correlation spectroscopy (STICS) in combination with high temporal resolution confocal imaging to characterize the intracellular movement of vesicles in growing pollen tubes. These observations, together with the analysis of FRAP (fluorescence recovery after photobleaching) experiments, indicate that exocytosis is likely to occur predominantly in the same annular region where wall expansion rates are greatest. Therefore, tip growth in plant cells does not seem to happen exactly at the tip.
