Micropropagation and somaclonal variation in Iranian genotypes of garlic (Allium sativum L.).
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Garlic is an important bulb vegetable which is used for both culinary and medical purposes worldwide. In vitro propagation is considered a promising technic for production and conservation of disease-free garlic seed. The efficiency of in vitro culture was studied for micropropagation of native Iranian garlic genotypes. A factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications was conducted to optimize the in vitro culture media components for establishment, regeneration and conservation of four Iranian garlic genotypes. The highest number of bulblets were obtained and established on MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mgL-1 BA (benzyl adenine) + 0.5 mgL-1 IBA (indole-3-butyric acid) and 0.5 mgL-1 2-iP (2-isopentenyl adenine) + 0.25 mgL-1 NAA (naphthalene acetic acid), respectively. In the regeneration phase, however, the highest number of bulblets regenerated from in vitro grown plants on MS medium supplemented with 0.5 mgL-1 2-iP + 0.1 mgL-1 NAA. A drastic increase in bulblet formation was also observed on this culture medium during conservation phase. At least 20 bulblets were formed per each explant in all genotypes in the first subculture. Interestingly, the bulblet formation in the second subculture was 4-5 times more than the first subculture, indicating a very efficient regeneration rate in micropropagation of Iranian garlic genotypes. Moreover, RAPD (Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA) markers were used to evaluate the genetic stability in regenerated garlic plantlets. All fragments amplified by five RAPDs were the same in regenerated plantlets and their mother plants showing no somaclonal variation in micropropagated Iranian garlics. Our results indicated that in vitro protocols used in this study can provide an efficient system for regeneration and conservation of garlic germplasm in an in vitro gene-bank.
