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

Energetics is considered a fundamental 'currency' of ecology and the way that metabolic rate (MR)-the rate of energy expenditure on biological processes-scales relative to the size of the organism can be both an adaptive benefit and a constraint in mediating the energetic demands of ecological processes. Since few investigations have examined this relationship for angiosperm seeds, we measured standard metabolic rate (SMR) of 108 species' seeds, spanning a broad suite of species. We used fluorescence-based closed-system respirometry at temperatures between 18°C and 30°C, based on optimal germination conditions, and Q
