Regulation of aplanospore germination in Vaucheria : Time-dependent responses to calcium modulators.
Article in Planta, 1992. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Germination of aplanospores in Vaucheria longicaulis Hoppaugh var. macounii Blum proceeds through three stages of development. Stage I begins with the initiation of germination and lasts approx. 2 h. During this stage germinating filaments grow at an accelerated rate (266 ± 12 μm · h(-1)). Stage II is characterized by a sharp decline in the growth rate of germinating filaments (96 ± 4 μm · h(-1)) and lasts 4 h. This is followed, during the next 4 h, by a recovery in the growth rate (168 ± 8 μm · h(-1)) of germinating filaments, stage III. Growth rates stabilize and remain unchanged during subsequent development (Oliveira and Fitch, 1988, J. Submicrosc. Cytol. Pathol. 20, 397-406). The Ca(2+)-influx modulators LaCl3, nifedipine and methyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-nitro-4 (2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-pyridine-5-carboxylate (Bay K-8644), the ionophore calcimycin (A23187), the intracellular Ca(2+)-release antagonist 8-N-N'-(diethylamino)-octyl-3,4, 5-trimethoxybenzoate (TMB-8), the Ca(2+)-uptake inhibitor ruthenium red and the phosphoinositide-cycle modulators LiCl and myo-inositol show that the events required for the initiation are distinct from those required for the completion of each stage of germination. These studies in conjunction with microinjection of germinating filaments with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, the natural ligand for Ca(2+) release from Ca-storing organelles (endoplasmic reticulum, vacuole), and treatment with chlorotetracycline (CTC), to visualize the distribution of membrane-bound Ca(2+) reveal that both the initiation and completion of each stage of germination are controlled by Ca(2+) signals which are restricted to well-defined time intervals and are modulated by the origin (source) of Ca(2+).
