SPA, a Stigma-style-transmitting tract Physical microenvironment Assay for investigating mechano-signaling in pollen tubes.
Article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2023. 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
Accurate sensing and responding to physical microenvironment are crucial for cell function and survival, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Pollen tube (PT) provides a perfect single-cell model for studying mechanobiology since it's naturally subjected to complex mechanical instructions from the pistil during invasive growth. Recent reports have revealed discrepant PT behaviors between in vivo and flat, two-dimensional in vitro cultures. Here, we established the Stigma-style-transmitting tract (TT) Physical microenvironment Assay (SPA) to recapitulate pressure changes in the pistil. This biomimetic assay has enabled us to swiftly identify highly redundant genes,
