Magnetic Fields Impact on PIN-FORMED Protein Polarity in Arabidopsis thaliana.
Article in Physiologia plantarum. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Magnetic fields (MF) exert a considerable influence on biological processes in various organisms, including prominent effects on plant growth and development. Plant responses to MFs are highly diverse, implying that a plethora of processes are affected, hampering their molecular characterization. In this report, we employed the well-characterized plant model Arabidopsis thaliana to determine root growth responses to both static magnetic fields (SMF) and gradient magnetic fields (Gradient MF). SMF exposure resulted in a dosage-dependent inhibition of root elongation growth and altered auxin-responsive reporter expression, whilst Gradient MF exposure interfered with root curvature and auxin signaling under conditions of minimized gravity effects. Mutants deficient in components of the Arabidopsis auxin transport machinery were less responsive to MFs than wild type, indicative of MF-induced effects on polar auxin transport. When viewing the subcellular localization of PIN-FORMED (PIN) auxin efflux transporters in root meristems, we found that MFs impact their subcellular distribution in root cap and epidermis cells. These effects on PIN localization hint at a molecular switch, linking cellular protein dynamics, auxin transport, and morphogenesis, by which MFs impact the growth of higher plants.
