1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer-sensitized emission of the yellow cameleon 3.60 was used to study the dynamics of cytoplasmic calcium ([Ca(2+)](cyt)) in different zones of living Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) roots. Transient elevations of [Ca(2+)](cyt) were observed in response to glutamic acid (Glu), ATP, and aluminum (Al(3+)). Each chemical induced a [Ca(2+)](cyt) signature that differed among the three treatments in regard to the onset, duration, and shape of the response. Glu and ATP triggered patterns of [Ca(2+)](cyt) increases that were similar among the different root zones, whereas Al(3+) evoked [Ca(2+)](cyt) transients that had monophasic and biphasic shapes, most notably in the root transition zone. The Al(3+)-induced [Ca(2+)](cyt) increases generally started in the maturation zone and propagated toward the cap, while the earliest [Ca(2+)](cyt) response after Glu or ATP treatment occurred in an area that encompassed the meristem and elongation zone. The biphasic [Ca(2+)](cyt) signature resulting from Al(3+) treatment originated mostly from cortical cells located at 300 to 500 mu m from the root tip, which could be triggered in part through ligand-gated Glu receptors. Lanthanum and gadolinium, cations commonly used as Ca(2+) channel blockers, elicited [Ca(2+)](cyt) responses similar to those induced by Al(3+). The trivalent ion-induced [Ca(2+)](cyt) signatures in roots of an Al(3+)-resistant and an Al(3+)-sensitive mutant were similar to those of wild-type plants, indicating that the early [Ca(2+)](cyt) changes we report here may not be tightly linked to Al(3+) toxicity but rather to a general response to trivalent cations.
