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

Understanding radial growth phenology is crucial in the comprehension of tree physiology and its susceptibility to climate change. Numerous studies have investigated the impacts of radial growth activity in stem meristems and environmental factors on wood formation and tree growth in treeline trees. Nevertheless, studies on the radial growth dynamics of lateral meristems across different tree parts and the variations in their responses to environmental factors are scarce. To test the hypothesis that the radial growth phenology of diverse tree organs is synchronized, three sample strips were set up along an elevational gradient in the Jiaozi Mountain National Nature Reserve, Yunnan Province, China. To clarify the differences in radial growth dynamics between shoots and stems at the cellular level, weekly microcore samples were collected from shoots and stems from 2019-2021. The results indicated that: (1) Radial growth between shoots and stems was asynchronous, with the onset of radial growth of shoots preceding that of stems. (2) The temperature threshold for the onset of radial growth in Abies forrestii var. smithii converges within the range of 3.67-6.61°C, with a mean value of 4.99 ± 0.16°C. (3) The cell development of shoots and stems was more closely related to photoperiod and temperature than to other environmental factors. Our study offers novel insights into the dynamics of the cambium in treeline trees and the results support the apical growth limitation hypothesis.
