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

Current colorimetric methods for quantitative determination of seed viability (SV) with 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) have been plagued by issues of being cumbersome and time-consuming during the experimental process, slow in extraction and staining, and exhibiting inconsistent results. In this work, we introduced a new approach that combines TTC-staining with high-temperature extraction using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The optimization of the germination stage, TTC-staining method, and 1,3,5-triphenylformazan (TTF) extraction method were meticulously carried out as follows: When the majority of wheat seeds had grown the radicle, and the length of radicles was approximately equal to the seed length (24 h-germination), 2 g germinating seeds were placed into a beaker (20 mL) containing 5 mL 10 g·L
