Morphology and monoterpene biosynthetic capabilities of secretory cell clusters isolated from glandular trichomes of peppermint (Mentha piperita L.).

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
Secretory cells were isolated from the monoterpene-producing glandular trichomes (peltate form) of peppermint as clusters of eight cells each. These isolated structures were shown to be non-specifically permeable to low-molecular-weight, water-soluble cofactors and substrates. Short incubation periods with the polar dye Lucifer yellow iodoacetamide (Mr=660) resulted in a uniform staining of the cytoplasm, with exclusion of the dye from the vacuole. The molecular-weight exclusion limit for this permeability was shown to be less than approx. 1800, based on exclusion of fluorescein-conjugated dextran (Mr ∼ 1800). Intact secretory cell clusters very efficiently incorporated [(3)H]geranyl pyrophosphate into monoterpenes. The addition of exogenous cofactors and redox substrates affected the distribution of monoterpenes synthesized from [(3)H]geranyl pyrophosphate, demonstrating that the cell clusters were permeable to these compounds and that the levels of endogenous cofactors and redox substrates were depleted in the isolated cells. When provided with the appropriate cofactors, such as NADPH, NAD(+), ATP, ADP and coenzyme A, the isolated secretory cell clusters incorporated [(14)C]sucrose into monoterpenes, indicating that these structures are capable of the de-novo biosynthesis of monoterpenes from a primary carbon source, and that they maintain a high degree of metabolic competence in spite of their permeable nature.
