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

aimTo test the fitness-gain curve model proposes that cosexual plants adjust their sex ratios and resource allocation depending on their size. In this study, the monoecious species Sagittaria potamogetifolia was used as a model to determine the effects of plant size and density on gender modification and reproductive allocation. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Various traits, including flower number and plant biomass, were measured under four different artificially constructed population density treatments. More male flowers were produced than female flowers per individual at high densities, while the opposite trend was observed at low densities. This trend was particularly evident in the highest density treatment.

resultsA trade-off was discovered between male-female sex allocations in the highest density treatment (40 individuals m
