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 influence of cold stress during the reproductive phase can lead to substantial yield losses in sorghum. In order to extend cultivation into temperate regions, a better understanding of reproductive cold tolerance is essential for breeding progress. To further elucidate the mechanisms responsible for cold tolerance, a cold-tolerant and a cold-sensitive parental line, along with their reciprocal F1 hybrids, were subjected to cold stress at various stages of reproductive development, with a focus on pollen fertility and receptivity of female floral organs. For this purpose, pollen measurements were conducted using impedance flow cytometry, and the
