Blockage of mitosis in maize root tips using colchicine-alternatives.
Article in Protoplasma, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Mitosis in plants can be blocked by colchicine which has the capacity to bind microtubule subunits. In maize (Zea mays L.) breeding, it is frequently being used for doubling chromosome numbers of haploids for producing homozygous doubled haploids. However, colchicine is highly toxic for mammals and impacts negatively on the environment. Therefore, it was interesting to find substitutes like chemical compounds and/or physical methods which would be capable of doubling chromosome numbers in maize. For this purpose, a screening system was set up using root tips of maize. Herbicides like amiprophos methyl, oryzalin, and pronamide were identified to be effective in doubling chromosome sets of maize. Additionally, the toxicity of these compounds was lower than that of colchicine and treated seedlings recovered and grew. Therefore, they could be applied in reduced concentrations showing results comparable to colchicine.
