SPSI: A Novel Composite Index for Estimating Panicle Number in Winter Wheat before Heading from UAV Multispectral Imagery.
Article in Plant phenomics (Washington, D.C.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Rapid and accurate estimation of panicle number per unit ground area (PNPA) in winter wheat before heading is crucial to evaluate yield potential and regulate crop growth for increasing the final yield. The accuracies of existing methods were low for estimating PNPA with remotely sensed data acquired before heading since the spectral saturation and background effects were ignored. This study proposed a spectral-textural PNPA sensitive index (SPSI) from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) multispectral imagery for reducing the spectral saturation and improving PNPA estimation in winter wheat before heading. The effect of background materials on PNPA estimated by textural indices (TIs) was examined, and the composite index SPSI was constructed by integrating the optimal spectral index (SI) and TI. Subsequently, the performance of SPSI was evaluated in comparison with other indices (SI and TIs). The results demonstrated that green-pixel TIs yielded better performances than all-pixel TIs apart from TI
