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 outcome of interspecific competition is affected by numerous abiotic and biotic factors. However, the effects of genetic relatedness of conspecific neighbours have not been elucidated. Here, we demonstrate that the genotype of a conspecific neighbour determines the outcome of interspecific competition. We investigated effects of genotype of neighbour sibling or non-sibling Plantago asiatica plants on competition with Trifolium repens plants. Pairs of P. asiatica, sibling or non-sibling, were grown in competition with T. repens. Sibling P. asiatica plants, but not non-sibling plants, increased leaf placement towards competitor T. repens plants, and that placement was correlated negatively with the biomass of T. repens and positively with seed production by P. asiatica. Seed production by P. asiatica plants competing with T. repens was greater in individuals paired with siblings than in those paired with non-siblings. Thus, our results show that the genotype of conspecific neighbours can alter the outcome of interspecific competition.
