Carbon nanoparticles influence photomorphogenesis and flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Article in Plant cell reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
key messageInclusion of carbon nanoparticles in growth medium accelerates timing to flower by down-regulating phytochrome B in a CONSTANS-independent but photoperiod-dependent manner in Arabidopsis thaliana. Despite the recognized importance of nanoparticles in plant development over the last decade, the effect of carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) on plant processes such as photomorphogenesis and flowering time control is poorly understood. We explored the uptake, accumulation and effect of CNPs on seedling development and flowering time control in Arabidopsis thaliana (At). CNPs uptake was demonstrated using Raman spectroscopy and light microscopy that affected At seedling growth and flowering time in a dose-dependent manner. The highest accumulation of CNPs was observed in leaves followed by stem and root tissues. CNPs treatment enhanced seed germination, showed elongated hypocotyl, larger cotyledon area and increased chlorophyll content in At seedlings. CNPs treatment induced early flowering in both long-day and short-day growth conditions indicating a photoperiod-dependent effect. CNPs-treated seedlings showed a drastic reduction in the relative abundance of phytochrome B (PHYB) transcript. Further, we analyzed the transcript abundance of at least one major component involved in various pathways that regulate flowering such as (1) photoperiod, (2) gibberellic acid (GA), (3) vernalization and (4) autonomous. An up-regulation of transcript levels of PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 4 (PIF4), GIGANTEA (GI), REPRESSOR OF GIBBERELLIC ACID 1 (RGA1) and LEAFY (LFY) were observed, however, there were no changes in the transcript levels of CONSTANS (CO), VERNALIZATION 1 (VRN1) and FLOWERING CONTROL LOCUS A (FCA). Despite the up-regulation of RGA1, we conclude that the earlier flowering is most likely GA-independent. Here, we demonstrated that the early flowering in CNPs-treated seedlings was PHYB and photoperiod-dependent.
