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

A tunnel sprayer has distinct recycling systems, which save a significant portion of the applied pesticide. Its performance is directly or indirectly influenced by various constructional parameters of the recycling system (nozzle spacing, nozzle angle, tunnel opening, and fin pitch) because they influence the movement of spray droplets, characteristics of the droplets, and recycling rate of the system. Therefore, the effect of these parameters was investigated for improvement in the tunnel sprayer's performance. In this study, four adjustment mechanisms were developed for selected parameter's regulation and tested using a hybrid tree (artificial and natural leaf). The non-significant results of spatial spray distribution revealed its accuracy and potential ability for maintaining spray uniformity across the tree canopy, except in the central zone of both trees. By considering the poor spray deposits at the central zone of both trees, the statistical analysis was carried out for spray deposits maximization and recycling rate minimization. The spray deposits varied from 1.016 × 10
