Defects in the cell wall and its deposition caused by loss-of-function of three RLKs alter root hydrotropism in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Root tips can sense moisture gradients and grow into environments with higher water potential. This process is called root hydrotropism. Here, we report three closely related receptor-like kinases (RLKs) that play critical roles in root hydrotropism: ALTERED ROOT HYDROTROPIC RESPONSE 1 (ARH1), FEI1, and FEI2. Overexpression of these RLKs strongly reduce root hydrotropism, but corresponding loss-of-function mutants exhibit an increased hydrotropic response in their roots. All these RLKs show polar localization at the plasma membrane regions in root tips. The biosynthesis of the cell wall, cutin, and wax (CCW) is significantly impaired in root tips of arh1-2 fei1-C fei2-C. A series of known CCW mutants also exhibit increased root hydrotropism and reduced osmotic tolerance, similar to the characteristics of the triple mutant. Our results demonstrat that the integrity of the cell wall, cutin, and root cap wax mediate a trade-off between root hydrotropism and osmotic tolerance.
