Nuclear behavior, cell polarity, and cell specification in the female gametophyte.
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 43 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
In flowering plants, the haploid gamete-forming generation comprises only a few cells and develops within the reproductive organs of the flower. The female gametophyte has become an attractive model system to study the genetic and molecular mechanisms involved in pattern formation and gamete specification. It originates from a single haploid spore through three free nuclear division cycles, giving rise to four different cell types. Research over recent years has allowed to catch a glimpse of the mechanisms that establish the distinct cell identities and suggests dynamic cell-cell communication to orchestrate not only development among the cells of the female gametophyte but also the interaction between male and female gametophytes. Additionally, cytological observations and mutant studies have highlighted the importance of nuclei migration- and positioning for patterning the female gametophyte. Here we review current knowledge on the mechanisms of cell specification in the female gametophyte, emphasizing the importance of positional cues for the establishment of distinct molecular profiles.
