Development and Application of Portable Reflectometric Spectroscopy Combined with Solid-Phase Extraction for Determination of Potassium in Flue-Cured Tobacco Leaves.

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
Potassium (K) plays important roles in the energy and substance conversion of tobacco metabolism and is also regarded as one of the important indicators of tobacco quality evaluation. However, the K quantitative analytical method shows poor performance in terms of being easy-to-use, cost-effective, and portable. Here, we developed a rapid and simple method for the determination of K content in flue-cured tobacco leaves, including water extraction with 100 °C heating, purification with solid-phase extraction (SPE), and analysis with portable reflectometric spectroscopy based on K test strips. The method development consisted of optimization of the extraction and test strip reaction conditions, screening of SPE sorbent materials, and evaluation of the matrix effect. Under the optimum conditions, good linearity was observed in 0.20-0.90 mg/mL with a correlation coefficient >0.999. The extraction recoveries were found to be in the range of 98.0-99.5% with a repeatability and reproducibility of 1.15-1.98% and 2.04-3.26%, respectively. The sample measured range was calculated to be 0.76-3.68% K. Excellent agreement was found in accuracy between the developed reflectometric spectroscopy method and the standard method. The developed method was applied to analyze the K content in different cultivars, and the content varied greatly among the samples with lowest and highest contents for Y28 and Guiyan 5 cultivars, respectively. This study can provide a reliable approach for K analysis, which may become available on-site in a quick on-farm test.
