Interspecific morphological variation in Juglandoideae resting bud organization: a winter's tale?
Article in Annals of botany, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsDormant resting buds are frequently regarded as static units, with protective cataphylls on the outside and embryonic foliage leaves on the inside. How the presence of cataphylls influences the dynamic, cyclical, annually repeating sequence of leaf forms that a resting bud gives rise to has rarely been interrogated. To examine the connection between dormant structure and growing-season development, we compare the complete seasonal heteroblastic sequence of leaf forms of six species of temperate Juglandaceae with distinctly different vegetative resting bud structures. These include buds with cataphylls; buds without cataphylls; and buds with caducous cataphylls that are lost before the onset of winter.
methodsIn a common garden setting over a 7-month growing season, the dimensions of 2249 individual vegetative metamers were tracked from first exposure to abscission along the shoots of saplings and mature trees. The timing of metamer initiation within terminal buds was investigated using micro-CT scanning. Character state transitions of resting bud types were estimated using a phylogenetic tree of Juglandaceae. KEY
resultsThe presence of cataphylls within a heteroblastic sequence is associated with a single cohort of foliage leaves that flush and abscise synchronously. This growing pattern is highly determinate, with next year's terminal-bud cataphylls already initiated before spring leaf out. In contrast, in sequences without cataphylls, shorter-lived foliage leaves appear and abscise in a staggered fashion. Despite these differences in leaf demography, all examined heteroblastic sequences produce a series of small, caducous leaf forms that precede terminal bud set.
conclusionsThe ubiquity of caducous leaf forms in Juglandoideae may point to the importance of shoot tip protection far beyond the dormant season. In addition, the presence or absence of cataphylls in resting buds is indicative of distinct shoot ontogenetic patterns, and functional strategies, in summer.
