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

MAIN

conclusionPolyploidization (diploidy → polyploidy) was more likely to be positively associated with seed mass than with seed germination. Polyploidy is common in flowering plants, and polyploidization can be associated with the various stages of a plant's life cycle. Our primary aim was to determine the association (positive, none or negative) of polyploidy with seed mass/germination via a literature review. We found that the number of cases of positive, none and negative correlates of polyploidization was 28, 36 and 21, respectively, for seed germination and 25, 5 and 3, respectively, for seed mass. In many plant species, ploidy level differs within and between populations, and it may be positively or negatively associated with germination (57.6% of 85 cases in our review). Ideally, then, to accurately assess intra- and interpopulation variation in seed germination, such studies should include ploidy level. This is the first in-depth review of the association of polyploidy with seed germination.
