Micronucleus Assay with Tetrad Cells of Tradescantia.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2026. 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
The Tradescantia micronucleus assay has been used for 50 years for the detection of genotoxins (including carcinogens) in the environment. Micronuclei are extranuclear bodies that contain entire chromosomes or chromosomal fragments and can be scored under the microscope. A large database concerning the effects of individual chemicals and complex environmental mixtures (soil, air, water) has accumulated. In contrast to other mutagenicity test systems, the effects of low concentrations of heavy metals, radionuclides, certain herbicides and pesticides, and gaseous mutagens can be detected, and it is also possible to conduct in situ biomonitoring studies with the plant. The test system has been validated, and standardized protocols have been developed for laboratory experiments and for field studies, which are described in this chapter.
