Agent-based simulation of cortical microtubule band movement in arabidopsis zygotes.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
Arabidopsis thaliana zygotes form a circumferential cortical microtubule (CMT) band that moves upward along the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical cell; however, how and why this CMT band moves remain unknown. Based on several recently proposed feedback mechanisms of CMT reorientation, we hypothesized that a directional cue (DC) changes CMT orientation. We constructed an agent-based simulation model with a DC to observe what happens during CMT formation using different parameters. We determined that the output CMT band can become larger than the input DC zone and identified two types of self-organization processes depending on the parameters used. Furthermore, using well-defined parameters that form a static CMT band, we artificially changed the position of the input DC zone, revealing that CMT band movement requires a DC to move at an appropriate speed.
