Comparison of binding properties and early biological effects of elicitins in tobacco cells
Article in Plant physiology, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Elicitins are a family of small proteins secreted by Phytophthora species that have a high degree of homology and elicit defense reactions in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). They display acidic or basic characteristics, the acidic elicitins being less efficient in inducing plant necrosis. In this study we compared the binding properties of four elicitins (two basic and two acidic) and early-induced signal transduction events (Ca2+ influx, extracellular medium alkalinization, and active oxygen species production). The affinity for tobacco plasma membrane-binding sites and the number of binding sites were similar for all four elicitins. Furthermore, elicitins compete with one another for binding sites, suggesting that they interact with the same receptor. The four elicitins induced Ca2+ influx, extracellular medium alkalinization, and the production of active oxygen species in tobacco cell suspensions, but the intensity and kinetics of these effects were different from one elicitin to another. As a general observation the concentrations that induce similar levels of biological activities were lower for basic elicitins (with the exception of cinnamomin-induced Ca2+ uptake). The qualitative similarity of early events induced by elicitins indicates a common transduction scheme, whereas fine signal transduction tuning is different in each elicitin.
