Image analysis using smartphones: relationship between leaf color and fresh weight of lettuce under different nutritional treatments.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Image analysis can be useful for assessing crop health and predicting yield. Instead of expensive equipment, smartphones are considered an accessible and low-cost alternative. The objectives of this study were to evaluate whether fresh weight in green and red lettuce could be predicted by leaf color (intensity of green color measured by RGB) under different fertilizer treatments using RGB imaging from two widely used smartphone models (Samsung Galaxy and Apple iPhone). The two smartphones showed similar longitudinal patterns of RGB data (the intensity and dark green proportion), but the absolute difference in the RGB data was significantly different. Therefore, the averaged results were used for the analyses. Color intensity and dark green proportion were associated with the fresh lettuce weight (p = 0.005, 0.003, 0.014 and p < 0.001, respectively). This study suggests that farmers and practitioners can use these economic devices as a non-destructive method to diagnose and monitor the nutritional status and predict lettuce yield.
