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

Commercial cultivation of linseed for both seed and fibre is not keeping pace with increasing demand for linseed products. Although, different strategies are being adopted to produce a dual-purpose linseed crop with good yield of seed and fibre, little progress has been achieved. The present study was carried out to investigate whether application of gibberellic acid (GA3) along with CaCl2 and/or MgSO4 could ameliorate the seed yield in three linseed genotypes 'Parvati', 'Shekhar' and 'Shubhra' without compromising the fibre production. Before sowing the seeds of linseed genotypes were soaked for 8 h in 10(-6) M GA3. Forty days after sowing (DAS), the plants were sprayed with 10(-6) M GA3 along with 2 kg Ca/ha (Ca2) and/or 0.5 kg Mg/ha (Mg0.5). Treatments comprised of (1) 10(-6) M GA3 + Ca0Mg0 (control, T0); (2) 10(-6) M GA3 + Ca2Mg0 (T1); (3) 10(-6) M GA3 + Ca0Mg0.5 (T2) and (4) 10(-6) M GA3 + Ca2Mg0.5 (T3). Performance of the crop was assessed in terms of growth characteristics, physiological and biochemical parameters at 60 and 75 DAS and yield and quality attributes at harvest. Treatment T3 proved best, it enhanced dry weight per plant by 38.2 and 20.6%, P N by 20.7 and 19.1% and gs by 18.2 and 8.8% at 60 and 75 DAS, respectively and seed yield by 39.6%, oil yield by 46.9% and fibre yield by 36.9% at harvest. Further, a decrease in lodging by 13.9% was recorded. Of the three genotypes tested, all exhibited significant difference for all the parameters studied, except for leaf-N content, biological yield and iodine value which showed no difference. However, 'Shubhra' performed better than 'Parvati'.
