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

African rice (Oryza glaberrima) has adapted to challenging environments and is a promising source of genetic variation. We analysed dynamics of photosynthesis and morphology in a reference set of 155 O. glaberrima accessions. Plants were grown in an agronomy glasshouse to late tillering stage. Photosynthesis induction from darkness and the decrease in low light was measured by gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence along with root and shoot biomass, stomatal density, and leaf area. Steady-state and kinetic responses were modelled. We describe extensive natural variation in O. glaberrima for steady-state, induction, and reduction responses of photosynthesis that has value for gene discovery and crop improvement. Principal component analyses indicated key clusters of plant biomass, kinetics of photosynthesis (CO2 assimilation, A), and photoprotection induction and reduction (measured by non-photochemical quenching, NPQ), consistent with diverse adaptation. Accessions also clustered according to countries with differing water availability, stomatal conductance (gs), A, and NPQ, indicating that dynamic photosynthesis has adaptive value in O. glaberrima. Kinetics of NPQ, A, and gs showed high correlation with biomass and leaf area. We conclude that dynamic photosynthetic traits and NPQ are important within O. glaberrima, and we highlight NPQ kinetics and NPQ under low light.
