Involvement of Phospholipase C in Photosynthesis and Growth of Maize Seedlings.
Article in Genes, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Phospholipase C is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glycerophospholipids and can be classified as phosphoinositide-specific PLC (PI-PLC) and non-specific PLC (NPC), depending on its hydrolytic substrate. In maize, the function of phospholipase C has not been well characterized. In this study, the phospholipase C inhibitor neomycin sulfate (NS, 100 mM) was applied to maize seedlings to investigate the function of maize PLC. Under the treatment of neomycin sulfate, the growth and development of maize seedlings were impaired, and the leaves were gradually etiolated and wilted. The analysis of physiological and biochemical parameters revealed that inhibition of phospholipase C affected photosynthesis, photosynthetic pigment accumulation, carbon metabolism and the stability of the cell membrane. High-throughput RNA-seq was conducted, and differentially expressed genes (DEGS) were found significantly enriched in photosynthesis and carbon metabolism pathways. When phospholipase C activity was inhibited, the expression of genes related to photosynthetic pigment accumulation was decreased, which led to lowered chlorophyll. Most of the genes related to PSI, PSII and TCA cycles were down-regulated and the net photosynthesis was decreased. Meanwhile, genes related to starch and sucrose metabolism, the pentose phosphate pathway and the glycolysis/gluconeogenesis pathway were up-regulated, which explained the reduction of starch and total soluble sugar content in the leaves of maize seedlings. These findings suggest that phospholipase C plays a key role in photosynthesis and the growth and development of maize seedlings.
