Revisiting the DNA C-values of the genome size-standards used in plant flow cytometry to choose the "best primary standards".

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
Flow cytometry (FCM) techniques have enabled characterization of the genome size for various plant species. In order to measure the nuclear genome size of a species, reference standards with well-established DNA content are necessary. However, different 2C-values have been described for the same species used as reference standard. This fact has brought about inaccurate genome measurements, making relevant the establishment of optimal DNA reference standards for plant cytometric analyses. Our work revisited the genome size of Arabidopsis thaliana and other seven plant standards, which were denominated "Doležel's standard set" and have been widely used in plant DNA measurements. These eight plant standards were reassessed for a comparative measurement of their DNA content values, using each plant species as primary standard in a cascade-like manner, from A. thaliana to Allium cepa. The genome size values obtained here were compared to those reported in the literature by statistical analyses. As a result, Raphanus sativus and Drosophila melanogaster were considered the most inadequate primary standards, whereas A. thaliana, Solanum lycopersicum and Pisum sativum were found to be the most suitable.
