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

Domesticated chickpea cultivars exhibit limited genetic diversity. This study evaluated the effects of chickpea domestication on phosphorus (P)-use efficiency (PUE) under low-P conditions, using a diverse Cicer collection, including wild species. Two wild Cicer species - 54 C. reticulatum accessions and 15 C. echinospermum accessions, and seven domesticated C. arietinum accessions were grown in low-P soil. All three species exhibited significant variation in physiological PUE, leaf gas exchange characteristics, photosynthetic PUE (PPUE), and photosynthetic N-use efficiency (PNUE), with greater variation in wild Cicer species than in domesticated C. arietinum. Domestication increased shoot growth and total leaf area but reduced root mass ratio. Compared with domesticated C. arietinum, wild Cicer species had lower stomatal conductance and higher leaf mass per area, associated with lower intercellular CO
