Assessing water status in rice plants in water-deficient environments using thermal imaging.
Article in Botanical studies, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundRice is a staple food for the global population. However, extreme weather events threaten the stability of the water supply for agriculture, posing a critical challenge to the stability of the food supply. The use of technology to assess the water status of rice plants enables the precise management of agricultural water resources.
resultsThe results of this study reveal that rice-producing regions with more severe drought have higher ion leakage rates, lower Soil Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) meter values, and reduced total chlorophyll content in plants. Although no significant differences were observed in red-green-blue (RGB) images, physiological parameters and canopy temperature differed significantly from conventional farming when infrared thermography was used to capture rice plants in the early stages of drought. The Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI), calculated from canopy temperature and atmospheric temperature, indicated a high correlation between access to water for rice plants and their physiological parameters. Regression analysis using CWSI and plant water status yielded a corrected coefficient of determination of 0.86.
conclusionOur study demonstrate that infrared thermography can effectively detect early signs of water stress in rice, aiding farmers in irrigation planning and enabling precise management and optimal utilization of water resources.
