1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

key messagePCaP2 plays a key role in maintaining the nucleus at a relatively fixed distance from the apex during root hair growth by modulating actin filaments. During root hair growth, the nucleus localizes at a relatively fixed distance from the apex. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the position of the nucleus is mainly dependent on the configuration of microfilaments (filamentous actin). However, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of actin dynamics and organization for nuclear positioning are largely unknown. In the present study, we demonstrated that plasma membrane-associated Ca(2+) binding protein 2 (PCaP2) influences the position of the nucleus during root hair growth. Abnormal expression of PCaP2 in pcap2 and PCaP2 over-expression plants led to the disorganization of actin filaments, rather than microtubules, in the apex and sub-apical regions of root hairs, which resulted in aberrant root hair growth patterns and misplaced nuclei. Analyses using a PCaP2 mutant protein revealed that actin-severing activity is essential for the function of PCaP2 in root hairs. We demonstrated that PCaP2 plays a key role in maintaining nuclear position in growing root hairs by modulating actin filaments.
