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: Plant disease severity assessments are used to quantify plant-pathogen interactions and identify disease-resistant lines. One common method for disease assessment involves scoring tissue manually using a semi-quantitative scale. Automating assessments would provide fast, unbiased, and quantitative measurements of root disease severity, allowing for improved consistency within and across large data sets. However, using traditional Root System Markup Language (RSML) software in the study of root responses to pathogens presents additional challenges; these include the removal of necrotic tissue during the thresholding process, which results in inaccurate image analysis. Methods: Using PlantCV, we developed a Python-based pipeline, herein called RootDS, with two main objectives: (1) improving disease severity phenotyping and (2) generating binary images as inputs for RSML software. We tested the pipeline in common bean inoculated with Fusarium root rot. Results: Quantitative disease scores and root area generated by this pipeline had a strong correlation with manually curated values ( Discussion: Overall, the RootDS pipeline provides greater functionality in disease score data sets and provides an alternative method for generating image sets for use in available RSML software.
