1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms an extensive network in plant cells. In leaf cells and vacuolated root cells it is mainly restricted to the cortex, whereas in the root meristem the cortical and cytoplasmic ER takes up a large volume throughout the entire cell. Only 3D electron microscopy provides sufficient resolution to understand the spatial organization of the ER in the root. Here we present two protocols for 3D EM imaging of the ER across a range of scales. For large-scale ER structure analysis, we describe selective ER staining with ZIO that allows for automated or semi-automated ER segmentation. For smaller regions of ER, we describe high-pressure freezing, which enables almost instantaneous fixation of plant tissues but without organelle specific staining. These fixation and staining techniques are suitable for a range of imaging modalities, including serial sections, array tomography, serial block face-scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM), or focused ion beam (FIB) SEM.
