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

backgroundOptimum moisture in straw and grain at maturity is important for timely harvesting of wheat. Grain harvested at the right time has reduced chance of being affected by adverse weather conditions which is important to maintain grain quality and end use functionality. Wheat varieties with a short dry down period could help in timely harvest of the crop. However, measuring single kernel moisture in wheat and other small grain crops is a phenotyping bottleneck which requires characterising moisture content of the developing kernel at physiological maturity.

resultsHere we report developing a pin-based probe to detect moisture in a developing wheat kernel required for determining physiological maturity. An in-house designed pin-based probe was used with different commercially available electronic moisture meters to assess the moisture content of the individual kernels in spikes with high accuracy (R

conclusionThe pin-based moisture probe is a reliable tool for wheat physiologists and breeders to conveniently and accurately measure moisture content in developing grain that will aid in identifying wheat germplasm with fast dry-down characteristics.
