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

backgroundConcerns about off-target dicamba exposure to sensitive vegetation have escalated following the commercialization of dicamba-tolerant (DT) soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) The spectral response of plant injury at the field scale is a crucial knowledge gap that may help researchers understand dicamba's fate in the environment. Non-DT soybean is the ideal sentinel crop owing to its extreme sensitivity. Field experiments were conducted to characterize the reflectance spectra associated with dicamba vapor drift injured soybean canopies. The objective was, under field conditions and using land-based remote sensing, to determine what regions of the EM correlate to dicamba-injured soybean canopies.

resultsSoybean injury was observed 8 days after treatment at only 1/10000th of a labeled use rate of dicamba. Correlations between simulated vapor drift and reflectance spectra at the single channel red-edge and vegetative indices excess red (ExR) and green leaf index (GLI) were observed. The study demonstrates the potential for detecting off-target dicamba vapor drift injury in soybean, with reflectance spectra following dicamba treatments observed at all spectral channels.

conclusionsDifferentiating dicamba-injured from dicamba-tolerant soybean canopies can be achieved using single spectral channels and vegetative indices. These findings usher in the possibility that remote sensing satellites, which are well-documented for identifying crop stress on the landscape, could be harnessed to understand the extent to which dicamba injury appears following over-the-top (OTT) application in DT soybean. Remote sensing technology could be instrumental in monitoring off-target herbicide injury and mitigating the effects of dicamba drift. © 2025 The Author(s).
