New advances and future directions in plant polyspermy.
Review in Molecular reproduction and development, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Plants have evolved a battery of mechanisms that potentially act as polyspermy barriers. Supernumerary sperm fusion to one egg cell has consequently long remained a hypothetical concept. The recent discovery that polyspermy in flowering plants is not lethal but generates viable triploid plants is a game changer affecting the field of developmental biology, evolution, and plant breeding. The establishment of protocols to artificially induce polyspermy together with the development of a high-throughput assay to identify and trace polyspermic events in planta now provide powerful tools to unravel mechanisms of polyspermy regulation. These achievements are likely to open new avenues for animal polyspermy research as well, where forward genetic approaches are hampered by the fatal outcome of supernumerary sperm fusion.
