The transcription factor MtSERF1 may function as a nexus between stress and development in somatic embryogenesis in Medicago truncatula.
Article in Plant signaling & behavior, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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 Medicago truncatula high rates of somatic embryo formation can be induced in the Jemalong genotype 2HA by application of the hormones auxin and cytokinin. Biosynthesis of the stress-related hormone ethylene is also necessary for somatic embryogenesis (SE) and is most likely a response to wounding and the presence of auxin in the medium. We have demonstrated that expression of a gene designated Mt SOMATIC EMBRYO RELATED FACTOR 1 (MtSERF1) induced by ethylene, in the presence of auxin plus cytokinin, is essential for SE. The promoter region of this transcription factor, a member of the ERF sub-family of the AP2/ERF super family, contains putative binding sites relating to auxin and cytokinin in addition to ethylene. An additional finding was the presence of WUSCHEL (WUS) binding sites in the MtSERF1 promoter region, which is discussed. Here we also discuss the Medicago data in the context of embryogenesis studies in Arabidopsis and suggest that MtSERF1 has a key developmental role, possibly in conjunction with WUS, in regulating downstream genes required for the initiation of SE.
