Morphological changes of lenticels and their role in gas exchange and sprouting physiology of potato tubers during postharvest storage.

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
The application of exogenous gases has been used to suppress sprouting in stored potato tubers. However, their efficacy in extending ecodormancy largely depends on achieving optimal gas exchange between the storage atmosphere and the tuber itself. This study aimed to investigate morphological variations and spatial distribution of lenticels and apical buds and to identify their potential role in tuber respiration rate and sprouting of five potato cultivars ('Hermes', 'Lady Claire', 'Lady Rosetta', 'Saturna', and 'VR808') during storage. Results revealed a consistent spatial pattern wherein the apical section of potato tubers exhibited significantly higher bud counts compared to lateral and stolon regions. 'Lady Claire' stood out as having the highest number of apical buds among the cultivars studied. Digital image analysis showed a seven times higher number of buds surrounding the apical eye and these were generally smaller than those distributed across the skin. 'Saturna' displayed double the lenticel density (12 lenticels cm
