Detection of Water Changes in Plant Stems In Situ by the Primary Echo of Ultrasound RF with an Improved AIC Algorithm.

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
The detection of water changes in plant stems by non-destructive online methods has become a hot spot in studying the physiological activity of plant water. In this paper, the ultrasonic radio-frequency echo (RFID) technique was used to detect water changes in stems. An algorithm (improved hybrid differential Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC)) was proposed to automatically compute the position of the primary ultrasonic echo of stems, which is the key parameter of water changes in stems. This method overcame the inaccurate location of the primary echo, which was caused by the anisotropic ultrasound propagation and heterogeneous stems. First of all, the improved algorithm was analyzed and its accuracy was verified by a set of simulated signals. Then, a set of cutting samples from stems were taken for ultrasonic detection in the process of water absorption. The correlation between the moisture content of stems and ultrasonic velocities was computed with the algorithm. It was found that the average correlation coefficient of the two parameters reached about 0.98. Finally, living sunflowers with different soil moistures were subjected to ultrasonic detection from 9:00 to 18:00 in situ. The results showed that the soil moisture and the primary ultrasonic echo position had a positive correlation, especially from 12:00 to 18:00; the average coefficient was 0.92. Meanwhile, our results showed that the ultrasonic detection of sunflower stems with different soil moistures was significantly distinct. Therefore, the improved AIC algorithm provided a method to effectively compute the primary echo position of limbs to help detect water changes in stems in situ.
