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

backgroundWith environmental deterioration, natural resource scarcity, and rapid population growth, mankind is facing severe global food security problems. To meet future needs, it is necessary to accelerate progress in breeding for new varieties with high yield and strong resistance. However, the traditional phenotypic screening methods have some disadvantages, such as destructive, inefficient, low-dimensional, labor-intensive and cumbersome, which seriously hinder the development of field breeding. Breeders urgently need a high-throughput technique for acquiring and evaluating phenotypic data that can efficiently screen out excellent phenotypic traits from large-scale genotype populations.

resultsIn the present study, we used an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) platform to collect RGB and multispectral images for a breeding program and acquired multiple phenotypic components (or traits), such as plant height, normalized difference vegetation index, biomass accumulation, plant-height growth rate, lodging, and leaf color. By implementing self-organizing maps and principal components analysis biplots to establish phenotypic map and similarity, we proposed an UAV-assisted HTP framework for preselecting maize (

conclusionsThis framework gives breeders additional information to allow them to quickly identify and preselect plants that have genotypes conferring desirable phenotypic components out of thousands of field plots. The present study also demonstrates that remote sensing is a powerful tool with which to acquire abundant phenotypic components. By using these rich phenotypic components, breeders should be able to more effectively identify and select superior genotypes.
