Volumetric 3D reconstruction of plant leaf cells using SEM, ion milling, TEM, and serial sectioning.
Article in Planta, 2022. 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
MAIN
conclusionFocused ion beam scanning electron microscopy is well suited for volumetric extractions and 3D reconstructions of plant cells and its organelles. The three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of individual plant cells is an important tool to extract volumetric data of organelles and is necessary to fully understand ultrastructural changes and adaptations of plants to their environment. Methods such as the 3D reconstruction of cells based on light microscopical images often lack the resolution necessary to clearly reconstruct all cell compartments within a cell. The 3D reconstruction of cells through serial sectioning transmission electron microscopy (ssTEM) and focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) are powerful alternatives but not widely used in plant sciences. Here, we present a method for the 3D reconstruction and volumetric extraction of plant cells based on FIB milling and compare the results with 3D reconstructions obtained with ssTEM. When compared to 3D reconstruction based on ssTEM, FIB-SEM delivered similar results. The data extracted in this study demonstrated that tobacco cells were larger (31410 µm
