PREPs: An Open-Source Software for High-Throughput Field Plant Phenotyping.

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
An open-source software for field-based plant phenotyping, Precision Plots Analyzer (PREPs), was developed using Window.NET. The software runs on 64-bit Windows computers. This software allows the extraction of phenotypic traits on a per-microplot basis from orthomosaic and digital surface model (DSM) images generated by Structure-from-Motion/Multi-View-Stereo (SfM-MVS) tools. Moreover, there is no need to acquire skills in geographical information system (GIS) or programming languages for image analysis. Three use cases illustrated the software's functionality. The first involved monitoring the growth of sugar beet varieties in an experimental field using an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), where differences among varieties were detected through estimates of crop height, coverage, and volume index. Second, mixed varieties of potato crops were estimated using a UAV and varietal differences were observed from the estimated phenotypic traits. A strong correlation was observed between the manually measured crop height and UAV-estimated crop height. Finally, using a multicamera array attached to a tractor, the height, coverage, and volume index of the 3 potato varieties were precisely estimated. PREPs software is poised to be a useful tool that allows anyone without prior knowledge of programming to extract crop traits for phenotyping.
