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 relatively thick primary walls of epidermal and collenchyma cells often form waviness on the surface that faces the protoplast when they are released from the tensile in-plane stress that operates in situ. This waviness is a manifestation of buckling that results from the heterogeneity of the elastic strain across the wall. In this study, this heterogeneity was confirmed by the spontaneous bending of isolated wall fragments that were initially flat. We combined the empirical data on the formation of waviness in growing cell walls with computations of the buckled wall shapes. We chose cylindrical-shaped organs with a high degree of longitudinal tissue stress because in such organs the surface deformation that accompanies the removal of the stress is strongly anisotropic and leads to the formation of waviness in which wrinkles on the inner wall surface are always transverse to the organ axis. The computations showed that the strain heterogeneity results from individual or overlaid gradients of pre-stress and stiffness across the wall. The computed wall shapes depend on the assumed wall thickness and mechanical gradients. Thus, a quantitative analysis of the wall waviness that forms after stress removal can be used to assess the mechanical heterogeneity of the cell wall.
