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

The body shape of plants varied in proportion to the logarithm of the magnitude of gravity in the range from microgravity to hypergravity to resist the gravitational force. Here we discuss the roles of cortical microtubule and 65 kDa microtubule-associated protein-1 (MAP65-1) in gravity-induced modification of growth anisotropy. Microgravity stimulated elongation growth and suppressed lateral expansion in shoot organs, such as hypocotyls and epicotyls. On the other hand, hypergravity inhibited elongation growth and promoted lateral expansion in shoot organs. The number of cells with transverse microtubules was increased by microgravity, but decreased by hypergravity. Furthermore, the levels of MAP65-1, which is involved in the maintenance of the transverse microtubule orientation, were increased by microgravity, but decreased by hypergravity. Therefore, the regulation of orientation of cortical microtubules via changes in the levels of MAP65-1 may contribute to the modification of the body shape of plants to resist the gravitational force.
