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
A variety of plant species emit volatile compounds in response to mechanical stresses such as herbivore attack. Although these volatile compounds promote gene expression leading to anti-herbivore responses, the underlying transduction mechanisms are largely unknown. While indirect evidence suggests that the cytoplasmic free Ca(2+) concentration ([Ca(2+)](c)) plays a crucial role in the volatile-sensing mechanisms in plants, these roles have not been directly demonstrated. In the present study, we used Arabidopsis leaves expressing apoaequorin, a Ca(2+)-sensitive luminescent protein, in combination with a luminometer, to monitor [Ca(2+)](c) transients that occur in response to a variety of volatile compounds and to characterized the pharmacological properties of the increase in [Ca(2+)](c). When leaves were exposed to volatiles, [Ca(2+)](c) was transiently raised. The [Ca(2+)](c) increases induced by acyclic compounds were disrupted by Ruthenium Red, a potential plasma-membrane and endo-membrane Ca(2+)-permeable channel inhibitor, but not by 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy) ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (BAPTA), an extracellular Ca(2+)-chelator, suggesting that acyclic compounds promote Ca(2+)-release from intracellular stores. On the other hand, the electrophilic compound (E)-2-hexenal promoted Ca(2+)-influx via ROS production by natural oxidation at the aquarius phase. In a gpa1-2 mutant lacking a canonical Galpha subunit, the [Ca(2+)](c) transients induced by all tested volatiles were not attenuated, suggesting that G-protein coupled receptors are not involved in the volatile-induced [Ca(2+)](c) transients in Arabidopsis leaves.
