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

Drastic and continuous decline in cane yields has become a major threat to sustainable sugarcane production in Ethiopia. Among the causes for the decline are the inefficient and ineffective system of monitoring sugarcane plantations. Adopting satellite-based crop monitoring through the Landviewer platform may circumvent this problem. However, the reliability of vegetation indexes calculated by the platform is unknown and thus requires evaluation. Accordingly, we tested the accuracy of selected Landviewer Calculated Vegetation Indexes (LCVIs) on three major sugarcane varieties and two cropping types. The goodness-of-fit of the sigmoid curve to the LCVIs profile of sugarcane was evaluated. The correlations between LCVIs and yield components, LCVIs and fractional green canopy cover (FGCC), as well as the time-serious Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and yields, were also analysed. We found that the goodness-of-fit of the sigmoid curve was significant (
