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

backgroundThe levels of free amino acids (FAAs) and the timing of bud flush (TBF) are among the the most economic traits of tea plants (Camellia sinensis). Investigating the genetic variation characteristics of FAAs and their potential associations with TBF is critical for the breeding of new tea cultivars with high economic value.

methodsIn this study, we utilized the 'Emei Wenchun' (♀) × 'Chuanmu 217' (♂) filial 1 (F

resultsA total of 16 FAAs were measured, and the average total FAA contents were 28.1 and 25.4 mg/g (dry weight) in the two spring seasons and 14.29 mg/g in the summer season. Within the population, the coefficients of variation (CV) for the FAAs ranged from 23 to 41% within each season, and the correlation coefficients (r) varied from 0.15 to 0.35 across seasons. ANOVA analyses revealed that 13 out of the 16 FAAs exhibited significant genetic variation, with the estimated broad-sense heritability (h
