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

The relationship between ripening behaviour and stem scar region of fruit in different tomato varieties (stored at 30.5 ± 1°C or 25 ± 1°C) was studied by blocking the stem scar region either completely or to different extent with high vacuum silicone grease. In 'Pusa Ruby' (a fast ripening variety) and 'Pusa Gaurav' (slow ripening variety), complete blockage of stem scar region of fruits at green mature stage showed 3-fold reduction in ripening index at 14 days after treatment (DAT) but with increased rottage. It was demonstrated in 'Pusa Ruby' and 'Pusa 120' that the extent of blockage of stem scar region has dependence on the rate of respiration and ripening suppression. The extent of climacteric rise was reduced significantly in the treated fruits. These suppressive effects of treatment were found to diminish with the advancement in the ripening stage of tomato fruit.
