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

Phenotypic traits like plant height are crucial in assessing plant growth and physiological performance. Manual plant height measurement is labor and time-intensive, low throughput, and error-prone. Hence, aerial phenotyping using aerial imagery-based sensors combined with image processing technique is quickly emerging as a more effective alternative to estimate plant height and other morphophysiological parameters. Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of both RGB and LiDAR images in estimating plant height in several crops. However, there is limited information on their comparison, especially in soybean (
