Stomatal-To-Epidermal Cell Size Ratio and Physiological Coordination Influence Stomatal Response Speed to Leaf Water Disruption in Tomato Plants.
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
The rapidity with which stomata respond to environmental stresses, such as water shortages or changes in atmospheric demand, is crucial for plant survival and increased water use efficiency. We still have limited information on how the anatomy of stomatal complexes relates to physiological variables, such as transpiration or leaf turgor pressure, and thus to their overall response kinetics. We hypothesize that the coordination between the anatomy of the stomatal complex and transpiration influences the speed of stomatal response to environmental stress by affecting turgor pressure dynamics. To test this, we grew tomato plants under different levels of atmospheric demand, or water vapour pressure deficit (VPD), to generate different leaf anatomies in terms of stomatal complexes, as well as to assess their physiological behaviour. We found that plants grown under high evaporative demand developed leaves with smaller stomatal size: epidermal cell size ratio (SS:ECS), higher steady state leaf turgor pressure (Ψ
