Visualization of microbodies in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Article in Journal of plant research, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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 Chlorophycean algal cells, these organelles are generally called microbodies because they lack the enzymes found in the peroxisomes of higher plants. Microbodies in some algae contain fewer enzymes than the peroxisomes of higher plants, and some unicellular green algae in Chlorophyceae such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii do not possess catalase, an enzyme commonly found in peroxisomes. Thus, whether microbodies in Chlorophycean algae are similar to the peroxisomes of higher plants, and whether they use a similar transport mechanism for the peroxisomal targeting signal (PTS), remain unclear. To determine whether the PTS is present in the microbodies of Chlorophycean algae, and to visualize the microbodies in Chlamydomonas cells, we examined the sub-cellular localization of green fluorescent proteins (GFP) fused to several PTS-like sequences. We detected GFP compartments that were spherical with a diameter of 0.3-1.0 μm in transgenic Chlamydomonas. Comparative analysis of the character of GFP-compartments observed by fluorescence microscopy and that of microbodies by electron microscopy indicated that the compartments were one and the same. The result also showed that the microbodies in Chlorophycean cells have a similar transport mechanism to that of peroxisomes of higher plants.
