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

Almost all life activities of plants are accompanied by electrophysiological information. Plant's electrical parameters are considered to be the fastest response to environment. In this study, the theoretically intrinsic relationships between the clamping force and leaf resistance (R) and inductive reactance (XL) were revealed as 3-parameter exponential decay based on bioenergetics for the first time. The intrinsic resistance (IR), capacitive reactance (IXc), inductive reactance (IXL), impedance (IZ), and capacitance (IC) in plant leaves were successfully monitored. The nutrient flux per unit area (UNF), nutrient transfer rate (NTR) and nutrient transport capacity (NTC) in plants based on IR, IXc, IXL, IZ and IC were defined to reflect nutrient transport characteristics. The results indicate that IXc and IXL could be used to manifest the relative composition characteristics of cell membrane proteins, and are inversely proportional to the amount of surface and binding proteins that induce membrane Xc and XL in plant leaves, respectively. UNF, NTR or NTC exhibited good correlations with crude protein or crude ash, and accurately revealed the nutrient transport strategies of tested plants and their diversity. This study highlights that plant's electrophysiological information could effectively manifest the composition and nutrient transport characteristics of membrane proteins in plant cells.
