EasyClick: an improved system for confocal microscopy of live roots with a user-optimized sample holder.
Article in Planta, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
MAIN
conclusionWe describe a user-optimized sample holder EasyClick for medium-sized plants that reduces root side movements and thus greatly extends the duration of live cell confocal microscopy. Preparation and mounting of the samples are key factors for successful live cell microscopy. To acquire biologically relevant data, it is necessary to minimize stress and avoid physical damage to plant tissues during the installation of the sample into the microscope. This is challenging, particularly when the whole plant is mounted as the living sample needs to be properly anchored in the microscopic system to obtain high-quality and high-resolution data. Here, we present a user-optimized sample holder EasyClick for live cell inverted confocal microscopic analysis of plant roots with diameters from 0.3 to 0.7 mm. The EasyClick holder was tested on an inverted confocal microscope using germinating plants of several cereals. Nevertheless, it can be directly used on other types of inverted microscopes from various producers and on different plant species. The EasyClick holder effectively restricts root lateral and vertical movements. This greatly improves the conditions for time-lapse microscopy of the samples of interest.
