Cell layer-specific patterns of cell division and cell expansion during fruit set and fruit growth in tomato pericarp.
Article in Journal of experimental botany, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 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 angiosperms, the ovary wall resumes growth after pollination through a balanced combination of cell division and cell expansion. The quantitative pattern of these events remains poorly known in fleshy fruits such as tomato (Solanum spp.), in which dramatic growth of the pericarp occurs together with endoreduplication. Here, this pattern is reported at the level of each of the cell layers or groups of cell layers composing the pericarp, except for vascular bundles. Overall, cell division and cell expansion occurred at similar rates for 9 days post anthesis (DPA), with very specific patterns according to the layers. Subsequently, only cell expansion continued for up to 3-4 more weeks. New cell layers in the pericarp originated from periclinal cell divisions in the two sub-epidermal cell layers. The shortest doubling times for cell number and for cell volume were both detected early, at 4 DPA, in epicarp and mesocarp respectively, and were both found to be close to 14 h. Endoreduplication started before anthesis in pericarp and was stimulated at fruit set. It is proposed that cell division, endoreduplication, and cell expansion are triggered simultaneously in specific cell layers by the same signals issuing from pollination and fertilization, which contribute to the fastest relative fruit growth early after fruit set.
