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 secondary lateral meristem-the vascular cambium (hereafter cambium)-is the largest meristem of the plant kingdom. It is almost always composed of two types of stem cells: (1) the axial (fusiform) initials, the most common and better known and studied, and (2) the ray initials that give rise to the vascular rays (hereafter rays), i.e., the radial component of the secondary xylem and phloem, which are less common and much less studied, and in many studies ignored. There is great flexibility in switching from axial initials to ray initials and vice versa. Ray initials commonly compose ca. 10-40% of the cambium of mature tree trunks, but nothing or very little in typical young model plants used for molecular cambial studies, such as
