Exocytosis and Endocytosis: Yin-Yang Crosstalk for Sculpting a Dynamic Growing Pollen Tube Tip.
Review in Frontiers in plant science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 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
The growing pollen tube has become one of the most fascinating model cell systems for investigations into cell polarity and polar cell growth in plants. Rapidly growing pollen tubes achieve tip-focused cell expansion by vigorous anterograde exocytosis, through which various newly synthesized macromolecules are directionally transported and deposited at the cell apex. Meanwhile, active retrograde endocytosis counter balances the exocytosis at the tip which is believed to recycle the excessive exocytic components for multiple rounds of secretion. Therefore, apical exocytosis and endocytosis are the frontline cellular processes which drive the polar growth of pollen tubes, although they represent opposite vesicular trafficking events with distinct underpinning mechanisms. Nevertheless, the molecular basis governing the spatiotemporal crosstalk and counterbalance of exocytosis and endocytosis during pollen tube polarization and growth remains elusive. Here we discuss recent insight into exocytosis and endocytosis in sculpturing high rates of polarized pollen tube growth. In addition, we especially introduce the novel integration of mathematical modeling in uncovering the mysteries of cell polarity and polar cell growth.
