Microtubules and the tax payer.
Review in Protoplasma, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Plant microtubules have evolved into a versatile tool to link environmental signals into flexible morphogenesis. Cortical microtubules define the axiality of cell expansion by control of cellulose orientation. Plant-specific microtubule structures such as preprophase band and phragmoplast determine symmetry and axiality of cell divisions. In addition, microtubules act as sensors and integrators for stimuli such as mechanic load, gravity, but also osmotic stress, cold and pathogen attack. Many of these functions are specific for plants and involve specific proteins or the recruitment of proteins to new functions. The review aims to ventilate the potential of microtubule-based strategies for biotechnological application by highlighting representative case studies. These include reorientation of cortical microtubules to increase lodging resistance, control of microtubule dynamics to alter the gravity-dependent orientation of leaves, the use of microtubules as sensitive thermometers to improve adaptive cold tolerance of chilling and freezing sensitive plants, the reduction of microtubule treadmilling to inhibit cell-to-cell transport of plant viruses, or the modulation of plant defence genes by pharmacological manipulation of microtubules. The specificity of these responses is controlled by a great variety of specific associated proteins opening a wide field for biotechnological manipulation of plant architecture and stress tolerance.
