Deep learning-based high-throughput phenotyping can drive future discoveries in plant reproductive biology.
Article in Plant reproduction, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
key messageAdvances in deep learning are providing a powerful set of image analysis tools that are readily accessible for high-throughput phenotyping applications in plant reproductive biology. High-throughput phenotyping systems are becoming critical for answering biological questions on a large scale. These systems have historically relied on traditional computer vision techniques. However, neural networks and specifically deep learning are rapidly becoming more powerful and easier to implement. Here, we examine how deep learning can drive phenotyping systems and be used to answer fundamental questions in reproductive biology. We describe previous applications of deep learning in the plant sciences, provide general recommendations for applying these methods to the study of plant reproduction, and present a case study in maize ear phenotyping. Finally, we highlight several examples where deep learning has enabled research that was previously out of reach and discuss the future outlook of these methods.
