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

The use of high plant density tolerant maize hybrids was one of the most successful interventions that boosted maize yield in the developed world. However, very little research has been conducted in the improvement of maize for high plant density tolerance in West and Central Africa (WCA). This study aimed to identify high plant density-tolerant maize hybrids adapted to multiple environments. Forty-eight maize hybrids were evaluated under three plant densities (low = 53,333, medium = 66,666, and high = 88, 888 plants ha
