Neutron Imaging to Reveal Phloem Function in Trees.
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
Understanding phloem function is key to understanding the regulation of plant function. The phloem distributes the main building blocks that support plant function and growth from the production sites to sites of consumption and storage. It also distributes important signaling molecules and interacts with the adjacent water-transport tissue, the xylem, to support hydraulic integrity of plants. Yet, studying phloem function is challenging because of the sensitivity of this tissue to mechanical stimulation that can lead to blockage of flow. Furthermore, its small size, adjacent location, and interactions with the much larger xylem tissue that operates under an opposite pressure gradient to the phloem make experiments of phloem function in opaque, woody tissues challenging. Here, we present a method to measure water transport rates within the phloem and between the xylem and the phloem using neutron imaging with heavy water, D
