SlERF36, an EAR-motif-containing ERF gene from tomato, alters stomatal density and modulates photosynthesis and growth.
Article in Journal of experimental botany, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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 AP2 domain class of transcription factors is a large family of genes with various roles in plant development and adaptation but with very little functional information in plants other than Arabidopsis. Here, the characterization of an EAR motif-containing transcription factor, SlERF36, from tomato that affects stomatal density, conductance, and photosynthesis is described. Heterologous expression of SlERF36 under the CaMV35S promoter in tobacco leads to a 25-35% reduction in stomatal density but without any effect on stomatal size or sensitivity. Reduction in stomatal density leads to a marked reduction in stomatal conductance (42-56%) as well as transpiration and is associated with reduced CO₂ assimilation rates, reduction in growth, early flowering, and senescence. A prominent adaptive response of SlERF36 overexpressors is development of constitutively high non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) that might function as a protective measure to prevent damage from high excitation pressure. The high NPQ leads to markedly reduced light utilization and low electron transport rates even at low light intensities. Taken together, these data suggest that SlERF36 exerts a negative control over stomatal density and modulates photosynthesis and plant development through its direct or indirect effects.
