Mechanical measurement of gravitropic bending force in pea sprouts.
Article in Plant biotechnology (Tokyo, Japan), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Environmental stimuli such as gravity and light modify the plant development to optimize overall architecture. Many physiological and molecular biological studies of gravitropism and phototropism have been carried out. However, sufficient analysis has not been performed from a mechanical point of view. If the biological and mechanical characteristics of gravitropism and phototropism can be accurately grasped, then controlling the environmental conditions would be helpful to control the growth of plants into a specific shape. In this study, to clarify the mechanical characteristics of gravitropism, we examined the transverse bending moment occurring in cantilevered pea (
