HD-Zip IV transcription factors: Drivers of epidermal cell fate integrate metabolic signals.
Review in Current opinion in plant biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
The leaf epidermis comprises the outermost layer of cells that protect plants against environmental stresses such as drought, ultraviolet radiation, and pathogen attack. Research over the past decades highlights the role of class IV homeodomain leucine-zipper (HD-Zip IV) transcription factors (TFs) in driving differentiation of various epidermal cell types, such as trichomes, guard cells, and pavement cells. Evolutionary origins of this family in the charophycean green algae and HD-Zip-specific gene expression in the maternal genome provide clues to unlocking their secrets which include ties to cell cycle regulation. A distinguishing feature of these TFs is the presence of a lipid binding pocket that integrates metabolic information with gene expression. Identities of metabolic partners are beginning to emerge, uncovering feedback loops to maintain epidermal cell specification. Discoveries of associated molecular mechanisms are revealing fascinating links to phospholipid and sphingolipid metabolism and mechanical signaling.
