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

Leaf area index (LAI) serves as a critical indicator for evaluating crop growth and guiding field management practices. While spectral information (vegetation indices and texture features) extracted from multispectral sensors mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) holds promise for LAI estimation, the limitations of single-texture features necessitate further exploration. Therefore, this study conducted field experiments over two consecutive years (2021-2022) to collect winter oilseed rape LAI ground truth data and corresponding UAV multispectral imagery. Vegetation indices were constructed, and canopy texture features were extracted. Subsequently, a correlation matrix method was employed to establish novel randomized combinations of three-dimensional texture indices. By analyzing the correlations between these parameters and winter oilseed rape LAI, variables with significant correlations (
