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

Premise: With modern advances in genetic sequencing technology, plant phenotyping has become a substantial bottleneck in crop improvement programs. Traditionally, researchers have manually measured phenotypic traits to help determine genotype-phenotype relationships, but manual measurements can be time consuming and expensive. Recently, automated phenotyping systems have increased the spatial and temporal density of measurements, but most of these systems are extremely expensive and require specialized expertise. In the present paper, we develop and validate a low-cost, scalable, high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) system for automating the measurement of foliar area and greenness. Methods: During a greenhouse experiment on the effects of abiotic stress on Results: In comparison with manually acquired images, this HTP system was able to produce similar estimates of foliar area and greenness, developmental trends, and treatment effects. Foliar area was correlated between the two image sets, but greenness was not. Discussion: These findings highlight the potential of HTP systems built from low-cost hardware and freely available software. Future work can use this system to investigate genotype-environment interactions and the genetic loci underlying morphological changes resulting from abiotic stress.
