Shank-localized cell wall growth contributes to Arabidopsis root hair elongation.
Article in Nature plants, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Root hairs are highly elongated tubular extensions of root epidermal cells with a plethora of physiological functions, particularly in establishing the root-rhizosphere interface. Anisotropic expansion of root hairs is generally thought to be exclusively mediated by tip growth-a highly controlled apically localized secretion of cell wall material-enriched vesicles that drives the extension of the apical dome. Here we show that tip growth is not the only mode of root hair elongation. We identified events of substantial shank-localized cell wall expansion along the polar growth axis of Arabidopsis root hairs using morphometric analysis with quantum dots. These regions expanded after in vivo immunolocalization using cell wall-directed antibodies and appeared as distinct bands that were devoid of cell wall labelling. Application of a novel click chemistry-enabled galactose analogue for pulse chase and real-time imaging allowed us to label xyloglucan, a major root hair glycan, and demonstrate its de novo deposition and enzymatic remodelling in these shank regions. Our data reveal a previously unknown aspect of root hair growth in which both tip- and shank-localized dynamic cell wall deposition and remodelling contribute to root hair elongation.
