1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Vacuoles in plant cells are the most prominent organelles that harbor distinctive features, including lytic function, storage of proteins and sugars, balance of cell volume, and defense responses. Despite their dominant size and functional versatility, the nature and biogenesis of vacuoles in plants per se remain elusive and several models have been proposed. Recently, we used the whole-cell 3D electron tomography (ET) technique to study vacuole formation and distribution at nanometer resolution and demonstrated that small vacuoles are derived from multivesicular body maturation and fusion. Good sample preparation is a critical step to get high-quality electron tomography images. In this chapter, we provide detailed sample preparation methods for high-resolution ET in Arabidopsis thaliana root cells, including high-pressure freezing, subsequent freeze-substitution fixation, embedding, and serial sectioning.
