Sector analysis reveals patterns of cambium differentiation in poplar stems.
Article in Journal of experimental botany, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
We used sector analysis to study cambium development and dynamics and to test whether fundamental developmental and functional differences exist between cambial initials as true 'stem cells' and more differentiated mother cells. In many higher plants, a cylindrical lateral meristem, the vascular cambium, forms along the plant axis. Most notably in stems of perennial tree species, this meristem gives rise to xylem (wood) towards the inside of the trunk and phloem (bark) towards the outside. As such, the vascular cambium is responsible for the production of most of the planet's forest biomass, significantly contributing to the global carbon cycle. Using the bacterial uidA reporter gene in Agrobacterium-based in vivo stem transformation experiments in poplar trees, we created 379 cambium sectors that originated from the transformation of individual cells. Results from our analysis of sector frequency and patterns are consistent with the poplar cambium featuring a single layer of true cambial initials (being able to divide both anti- and periclinally). We show that initials are frequently lost from the cambium, that such cell loss rarely occurs at mother cell level, that phloem and xylem differentiation are controlled independently, and that the frequency of mother cell replenishment is not pre-determined.
