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

Microtubules are crucial regulators of plant development and are organized by a suite of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) that can rapidly remodel the array in response to various cues. This complexity has inspired countless studies into microtubule function from the subcellular to tissue scale, revealing an ever-increasing number of microtubule-dependent processes. Developing a comprehensive understanding of how local microtubule configuration, dynamicity, and remodeling drive developmental progression requires new approaches to capture and alter microtubule behavior. In this review, we will introduce the technological advancements we believe are poised to transform the study of microtubules in plant cells. In particular, we focus on (1) advanced imaging and analysis methods to quantify microtubule organization and behavior, and (2) novel tools to target specific microtubule populations in vivo. By showcasing innovative methodologies developed in non-plant systems, we hope to motivate their increased adoption and raise awareness of possible means of adapting them for studying microtubules in plants.
