Rac1 function during fucoid development.
Article in Plant signaling & behavior, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Morphogenesis in fucoid algae begins with adhesive secretion and rhizoid germination, developmental events that secure the alga within the intertidal zone. The importance of the actin cytoskeleton during these processes has been well established; but in general, little is known about actin regulation within the stramenopile lineage. Based on conserved strategies for regulation of actin in other lineages, co-localization of the Arp2/3 complex with actin structures that are essential for rhizoid formation may implicate members of the Rho family of small GTPases in the signaling pathway(s) regulating actin polymerization during fucoid development. Our lab recently demonstrated Rac1 dependent regulation of endomembrane polarization, polarization of adhesive secretion, germination and tip growth in the fucoid brown alga Silvetia compressa. We also present new evidence revealing Rac1 localization during germination in S. compressa, and show that membrane localization is essential for proper Rac1 function.
