Optimum root zone temperature of photosynthesis and plant growth depends on air temperature in lettuce plants.

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 messageThe present study clearly showed that the optimum root zone temperature of photosynthesis and plant growth was affected by air temperature, and that optimization of root zone temperature depending on an air growth temperature by cooling systems could lead to improvement of plant production. Temperature is one of the critical factors affecting plant growth and yield production. Both air and root zone temperatures can strongly affect growth and development of plants. However, studies on the effects of root zone temperature on plant growth parameters along with air temperature are still limited. In the present study, the effects of air and root zone temperature on plant growth, physiological parameters and photosynthetic characteristics of lettuce plants were investigated to optimize the air and root zone temperature to achieve the best growth conditions for lettuce plants. Two air temperature treatments (30/25 and 25/20 °C at day/night temperature) and five root zone temperature treatments (15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 °C) were applied in this study. The present study showed that the maximum plant growth of lettuce plants was higher in air temperatures at 30/25 °C than in 25/20 °C. When the plants were grown at an air temperature of 30/25 °C, the optimum root zone temperature appeared to be 30 °C. However, when the plants were grown at an air temperature of 25/20 °C, the optimum root temperature decreased and appeared to be 25 °C. Furthermore, plants grown under air temperature of 30/25 °C showed greater CO
