Recent insights into the plant ARP2/3 complex.
Review in Protoplasma, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
More than two decades have passed since the first identification of the ARP2/3 complex in plants. During this time, numerous studies have advanced our understanding of the complex's role in actin cytoskeleton regulation. However, compared with opisthokonts, the mechanisms and functional contexts of ARP2/3 activity in plants remain only partially understood. Since the last comprehensive synthesis, substantial progress has been made in elucidating plant-specific features of ARP2/3 regulation, including upstream control via the WAVE/SCAR module, emerging roles of additional nucleation-promoting factors, and evidence for subunit specialization. This review shows that plant ARP2/3 acts as a context-dependent, membrane-associated actin nucleator instead of a global organizer of the cortical actin network. We summarize current knowledge on the localized activities of ARP2/3 at distinct membrane systems-including the plasma membrane, endomembranes, and autophagy-related structures-and discuss the mechanisms that recruit ARP2/3 to these membranes and enable its functions in cell expansion, membrane trafficking, immunity, and symbiotic interactions. Despite this progress, the downstream mechanistic consequences of ARP2/3-nucleated branched actin in plants remain largely unresolved.
