Nanoscale and geometric influences on the microtubule cytoskeleton in plants: thinking inside and outside the box.
Review in Protoplasma, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The dynamic microtubule (MT) cytoskeleton found in the cell cortex of plants drives cell expansion via cell wall modifications. In the last decade, live cell imaging studies employing green fluorescent protein have helped unravel the mechanisms behind how cells arrange cortical MTs into complex arrays and shape cell expansion. In this review, we explore the reverse scenario: how cell geometry and organelles influence and constrain the organization and behavior of cortical MTs. This newly emerging principle explains how cells perceive local nanoscale structural input from MT-organizing centers, such as the nucleus, endomembranes, and cell edges, and translate this into global cell-wide order via MT self-organization. Studies primarily using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and tobacco BY-2 suspension cultures have broadened our understanding of how cells form not only elegant parallel arrays but also more complex MT configurations, including the prominent MT bundles found in preprophase bands, leaf epidermal cells, and developing xylem.
