Ontogenesis in miniature. Pollen wall development in Campanula rapunculoides.

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
conclusionOur findings suggest a reconsideration of pollen wall ontogeny process, entailing examination of physical factors, which enable a new understanding of exine developmental processes as self-formation. The pollen wall, the most complex cell wall in plants, is especially interesting as a model of ontogeny in miniature. By a detailed study of each developmental stage of Campanula rapunculoides pollen wall, we aimed to understand the establishment of complex pollen walls and the underlying developmental mechanisms. Other aim was to compare our current observations with studies in other species to reveal the common principles. We also tried to analyse the reasons for commonalities in ontogenies of exines in remote species. TEM, SEM, comparative methods were used in this study. The sequence of events leading to exine emergence from early tetrad stage to maturity is as follows: the appearance of spherical micelles in the periplasmic space and de-mixing of the mixture in periplasm (condensed and depleted layers); appearance of plasma membrane invaginations and columns of spherical micelles inside condensed layer; appearance of rod-like units, pro-tectum and thin foot layer; the appearance of spiral substructure of procolumellae and of dendritic outgrowths on the tops of procolumellae, of vast depleted zone in aperture sites; formation of the endexine lamellae on the base of laminate micelles; gradual twisting of dendritic outgrowths (macromolecule chains) into clubs on the tops of columellae and into spines; final sporopollenin accumulation. Our observations are consistent with the sequence of self-assembling micellar mesophases. Complex organisation of the exine is established through processes of self-assembly operating together with another physical process-phase separation. After genomic determination of the exine building substances, purely physical processes which are not under direct genomic control play an important role after genomic control of constructive substances. The comparison of the underlying mechanisms of exine development in remote species occurred to be general and similar to crystallisation. Our ontogenetic experience has shown the commonality of pollen wall ontogenies in remote species.
