Male gametogenesis and germline specification in flowering plants.
Review in Sexual plant reproduction, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 87 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
During angiosperm male gametophyte development, the male germline is segregated by an asymmetric cell division of the haploid microspore. This review encompasses recent advances in understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms involved in generating the male germline from this pluripotent germline initial and in specifying the production of the twin sperm cells required for double fertilization. Genetic studies and access to the transcriptome of isolated gametes have enabled remarkable progress in understanding some of the key regulators that control and integrate germ cell cycle progression with germline specification, and an emerging regulatory model is presented. Rapid advances have also been made in understanding epigenetic regulation and small RNA pathways in the male gametophyte and germline that impact on genome integrity and gamete development, traits that are shared with animal germlines. The review concludes with a perspective of the outstanding issues and directions of future research that will further our understanding of germline specification and the gametophytic control of pollen development.
