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

Sub-optimal light environments in controlled agricultural settings often limit the productivity of plants. While LED supplementary lighting has been widely adopted to mitigate light deficiencies, the spatial arrangement of LED light sources remains a critical but under-explored factor affecting plant physiological responses. In this study, we used the affiliation function method to comprehensively analyze the effects of four spatial LED supplementary lighting configurations-top-down lighting (T1), mid-canopy upward lighting (T2), mid-canopy downward lighting (T3), and bottom-up lighting (T4)-on the growth and photosynthetic performance of tomato plants. Our findings reveal that the T1 treatment significantly increased light absorption in the upper and middle leaves, enhanced photosynthetic efficiency, promoted the CO
