The Role of Female and Male Genes in Regulating Pollen Tube Guidance in Flowering Plants.
Review in Genes, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
In flowering plants, fertilization is a complex process governed by precise communication between the male and female gametophytes. This review focuses on the roles of various female gametophyte cells-synergid, central, and egg cells-in facilitating pollen tube guidance and ensuring successful fertilization. Synergid cells play a crucial role in attracting the pollen tube, while the central cell influences the direction of pollen tube growth, and the egg cell is responsible for preventing polyspermy, ensuring correct fertilization. The review also examines the role of the pollen tube in this communication, highlighting the mechanisms involved in its growth regulation, including the importance of pollen tube receptors, signal transduction pathways, cell wall dynamics, and ion homeostasis.
