Mechanical interactions between tissue layers underlie plant morphogenesis.
Article in Nature plants, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Differential growth between tissues generates mechanical conflicts influencing organogenesis in plants. Here we use the anther, the male floral reproductive organ, as a model system to understand how cell dynamics and tissue-scale mechanics control 3D morphogenesis of a complex shape. Combining deep live-cell imaging, growth analysis, osmotic treatments, genetics and mechanical modelling, we show that localized expansion of internal cells actively drives anther lobe outgrowth, while the epidermis stretches in response. At later stages, mechanical load is transferred to the sub-epidermal layer (endothecium), contributing to proper organ shape. We propose the concept of 'inflation potential', encapsulating mechanical and anatomical features causing differential growth. Our data emphasize the active mechanical role of inner tissue in controlling both organ shape acquisition and cell dynamics in outer layers.
