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.
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
This study aimed to investigate the effects of different light qualities on the morphological development, photosynthetic characteristics, stomatal structure, and yield of potato, providing theoretical and practical guidance for optimizing light environments in controlled agricultural systems and enhancing the efficient production of potato microtubers. Six light qualities-white, red, blue, green, far-red, and ultraviolet-were applied to systematically evaluate their effects. The results showed that light quality significantly influenced plant morphological traits and physiological metabolism. Red and blue light demonstrated the most pronounced promotive effects. Under red light, plant height and stem diameter increased by 57.47% and 31.10%, respectively, compared to white light, while single tuber weight increased by 20.09%, despite a 14.96% reduction in tuber number per plant. Blue light significantly enhanced chlorophyll content (by 20.35%) and stomatal density (adaxial stomata increased by 28.85%), leading to a 38.98% increase in tuber number, a 51.79% increase in single tuber weight, and a remarkable 110.37% improvement in total yield per plant, compared to white light. In contrast, green light moderately promoted photosynthesis in lower leaves, but reduced the total yield by 39.90%. Far-red (740 nm) and ultraviolet light (390 nm) severely inhibited plant growth and failed to induce tuber formation. Correlation analysis revealed a highly significant positive relationship between chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate, stomatal density, and yield per plant (r = 0.96,
