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

Introduction: Nondestructive quantification of leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) of banana and its spatial distribution across growth stages from remotely sensed data provide an effective avenue to diagnose nutritional deficiency and guide management practices. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) hyperspectral imagery can document abundant texture features (TFs) and spectral information in a field experiment due to the high spatial and spectral resolutions. However, the benefits of using the fine spatial resolution accessible from UAV data for estimating LCC for banana have not been adequately quantified. Methods: In this study, two types of image features including vegetation indices (VIs) and TFs extracted from the first-three-principal-component-analyzed images (TFs-PC1, TFs-PC2, and TFs-PC3) were employed. We proposed two methods of image feature combination for banana LCC inversion, which are a two-pair feature combination and a multivariable feature combination based on four machine learning algorithms (MLRAs). Results: The results indicated that compared to conventionally used VIs alone, the banana LCC estimations with both proposed VI and TF combination methods were all significantly improved. Comprehensive analyses of the linear relationships between all constructed two-pair feature combinations and LCC indicated that the ratio of mean to modified red-edge sample ratio index (MEA/MSR
