Pectin Metabolism Influences Phloem Architecture and Flowering Time in Arabidopsis Thaliana.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Cell wall matrices undergo continuous remodeling during plant growth and development. The methyl- and de-methyl-esterification of pectic homogalacturonan dynamically influence the physicochemical and mechanical properties of cell walls, and consequently regulate organ morphogenesis. Phloem plays a crucial role in the transport of photoassimilates and other organic molecules from source to sink tissues, and the walls of phloem cells are rich in pectins. However, how pectin metabolism orchestrates phloem architecture and function is unclear. This work demonstrates that the methyl-esterification status and subsequent degradation of pectic homogalacturonan affect flowering time by modulating phloem development and transport capacity, which control the transport of a mobile florigen, FLOWERING LOCUS T protein, in the phloem stream. During this process, auxin signaling is stimulated by pectin de-methyl-esterification to influence vasculogenesis. Together, this data provide new insights into the mechanisms by which pectin chemistry is coordinated with auxin signaling to mediate phloem development, long-distance transport and flowering time.
