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 coupling between Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) and Solar-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF) is crucial for understanding terrestrial carbon cycles, with the GPP/SIF ratio regulated by canopy structure, environmental change, and other factors. While studies on canopy structure focus on how internal structure regulates light use efficiency, the impact of remotely sensed canopy structural parameters, particularly Fractional Vegetation Cover (FVC) and Leaf Area Index (LAI), on GPP-SIF coupling remains understudied. Investigating the response of canopy structure to GPP-SIF in large-scale forests supports high-accuracy GPP estimation. LiDAR offers unparalleled advantages in capturing complex vertical canopy structures. In this study, we used multi-source data, particularly LiDAR-derived canopy structure products, to analyze the annual variations in canopy structural parameters and GPP/SIF across different forest types, investigate the response of canopy structure to the GPP-SIF relationship, and employ machine learning models to estimate GPP and assess the contribution of canopy structural factors. We found that LiDAR-derived canopy structure products effectively captured vegetation growth dynamics, exhibiting strong correlation with MODIS products (maximum R²=0.95), but with higher values in densely vegetated areas. GPP/SIF exhibited significant seasonal and forest-type variations, peaking in summer. Its correlation with canopy structural parameters varied seasonally, ranging from 0.21 to 0.75. In summer, the correlation decreased by 5.53% to 30.59% compared to other seasons. In random forest models, incorporating canopy structural parameters improved GPP estimation accuracy (R
