CarboTag: a modular approach for live and functional imaging of plant cell walls.
Article in Nature methods, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Plant cells are contained within a rigid network of cell walls. Cell walls serve as a structural material and a crucial signaling hub vital to all aspects of the plant life cycle. However, many features of the cell wall remain enigmatic, as it has been challenging to map its functional properties in live plants at subcellular resolution. Here, we introduce CarboTag, a modular toolbox for live functional imaging of plant walls. CarboTag uses a small molecular motif, a pyridine boronic acid, that directs its cargo to the cell wall. We designed a suite of cell wall imaging probes based on CarboTag in various colors for multiplexing. Additionally, we developed new functional reporters for live quantitative imaging of key cell wall characteristics: network porosity, cell wall pH and the presence of reactive oxygen species. CarboTag paves the way for dynamic and quantitative mapping of cell wall responses at subcellular resolution.
