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

premisePhosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient that is often limited in agricultural systems. Determining inorganic phosphate (Pi) contents of plant tissues is crucial for evaluating plant P status. Here, we present a simple, high-throughput colorimetric microplate technique to measure Pi contents in rice ( METHODS AND

resultsWe used a hole puncher to sample small equal areas of leaf tissue for Pi extraction. We removed the leaf grinding and weighing steps, which are time-consuming and normally required to release Pi from the tissues and to measure the biomass for data normalization, respectively. We showed that the punching method yielded comparable results to the conventional grinding method for two rice cultivars grown under various levels of P supply.

conclusionsCompared with existing techniques, this protocol is more suited to an initial screening, enabling one researcher to determine the Pi contents of thousands of rice leaf samples within a few hours.
