Actin filaments of guard cells are reorganized in response to light and abscisic acid.
Article in Plant physiology, 1997. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 43 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
We recently showed that treatment with actin antagonists perturbed stomatal behavior in Commelina communis L. leaf epidermis and therefore suggested that dynamic changes in actin are necessary for signal responses in guard cells (M. Kim, P.K. Hepler, S.O. Eun, K.-S. Ha, Y. Lee [1995] Plant Physiol 109: 1077-1084). Here we show that actin filaments of guard cells, visualized by immunofluorescence microscopy, change their distribution in response to physiological stimuli. When stomata were open under white-light illumination, actin filaments were localized in the cortex of guard cells, arranged in a pattern that radiates from the stomatal pore. In marked contrast, for guard cells of stomata closed by darkness or by abscisic acid, the actin organization was characterized by short fragments randomly oriented and diffusely labeled along the pore site. Upon abscisic acid treatment, the radial pattern of actin arrays in the illuminated guard cells began to disintegrate within a few minutes and was completely disintegrated in the majority of labeled guard cells by 60 min. Unlike actin filaments, microtubules of guard cells retained an unaltered organization under all conditions tested. These results further support the involvement of actin filaments in signal transduction pathways of guard cells.
