MCA1 and MCA2 Are Involved in the Response to Hypergravity in Arabidopsis Hypocotyls.
Article in Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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 respond to and resist gravitational acceleration, but the mechanism of signal perception in the response is unknown. We studied the role of MCA (mid1-complementing activity) proteins in gravity perception by analyzing the expression of the MCA1 and MCA2 genes, and the growth of hypocotyls of mca mutants, under hypergravity conditions in the dark. An MCA1 promoter::GUS fusion reporter gene construct (MCA1p::GUS) and MCA2p::GUS were expressed almost universally in etiolated seedlings. Under hypergravity conditions, the expression levels of both genes increased compared with that under the 1 g condition, and remained higher, especially in the basal supporting region. On the other hand, mca-null and MCA-overexpressing seedlings showed normal growth under the 1 g condition. Hypergravity suppressed elongation growth of hypocotyls, but this effect was reduced in hypocotyls of mca-null mutants compared with the wild type. In contrast, MCA-overexpressing seedlings were hypersensitive to increased gravity; suppression of elongation growth was detected at a lower gravity level than that in the wild type. These results suggest that MCAs are involved in the perception of gravity signals in plants, and may be responsible for resistance to hypergravity.
