The smallest but fastest: ecophysiological characteristics of traps of aquatic carnivorous Utricularia.
Review in Plant signaling & behavior, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Aquatic Utricularia species usually grow in standing, nutrient-poor humic waters. They take up all necessary nutrients either directly from the water by rootless shoots or from animal prey by traps. The traps are hollow bladders, 1-6 mm long with elastic walls and have a mobile trap door. The inner part of the trap is densely lined with quadrifid and bifid glands and these are involved in the secretion of digestive enzymes, resorption of nutrients and pumping out the water. The traps capture small aquatic animals but they also host a community of microorganisms considered as commensals. How do these perfect traps function, kill and digest their prey? How do they provide ATP energy for their demanding physiological functions? What are the nature of the interactions between the traps and the mutualistic microorganisms living inside as commensals? In this mini review, all of these questions are considered from an ecophysiologist's point of view, based on the most recent literature data and unpublished results. A new concept on the role of the commensal community for the plants is presented.
