Cryopreserved-pollen viability is regulated by NO-induced programmed cell death.
Article in Plant cell reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
key messageAfter cryopreservation, the NO content in pollen increased, inducing programmed cell death as a key reason for reduced viability. Low recovery of biomaterials after cryopreservation is a bottleneck that limits the application of this technology. At present, the mechanism of viability decline after cryopreservation is not fully understood. In this study, the effects of nitric oxide (NO) on programmed cell death (PCD) and its relationship with viability were investigated, using Paeonia lactiflora 'Fen Yu Nu' pollen with significantly decreased viability after cryopreservation. The results showed that: the activity of caspase-3-like and caspase-9-like protease and the apoptosis rate of pollen cells were significantly increased, the expression level of the promoting PCD (pro-PCD) genes was up-regulated, while the expression level of the inhibiting PCD (anti-PCD) genes was down-regulated after preservation in liquid nitrogen (LN); the NO content in pollen cells increased significantly after LN exposure. The correlation analysis showed that NO was significantly correlated with pollen viability and all indicators of PCD. The addition of a NO carrier SNP after LN storage reduced pollen viability, increased endogenous NO content, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential level, activated caspase-3-like and caspase-9-like protease in pollen cells, and increased cell apoptosis rate. The expression levels of pro-PCD genes PDCD2 and ATG8CL were significantly up-regulated, while the expression levels of anti-PCD genes DAD1, BI-1 and LSD1 were significantly down-regulated. The addition of NO scavenger c-PTIO improved pollen viability, and produced the opposite effect of sodium nitroferricyanide (III) dihydrate (SNP), but did not change the mitochondrial membrane potential. These results suggest that NO induced PCD during the cryopreservation of pollen, which was one of the reasons for the significant decrease of pollen viability after cryopreservation.
