Expression of glyoxylate cycle genes in cucumber roots responds to sugar supply and can be activated by shading or defoliation of the shoot.
Article in Plant molecular biology, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
When cucumber roots are excised and incubated without a carbon source, isocitrate lyase (ICL) and malate synthase (MS) mRNAs increase significantly in amount. However, if sucrose is added to the excised roots, the mRNAs do not accumulate. Hairy roots obtained by transformation with Agrobacterium rhizogenes show the same response. Transgenic hairy roots containing the Icl and Ms gene promoters fused to the GUS reporter gene, have very low GUS activity which increases dramatically when roots are incubated in the absence of sugar, indicating regulation at the transcriptional level. Staining of sugar-deprived roots shows that GUS activity is concentrated mainly in root tips and lateral root primordia, where demand for carbohydrate is greatest. In order to determine if Icl and Ms genes are expressed in roots of whole plants under conditions which may occur in nature, cucumber plants were subjected to reduced light intensity or defoliation. In both cases increases were observed in ICL and MS mRNAs. These treatments also reduced root sugar content, consistent with the hypothesis that sugar supply could control expression of Icl and Ms genes in roots of whole plants.
