Utilizing X-ray radiography for non-destructive assessment of paddy rice grain quality traits.
Article in Plant methods, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAgricultural systems are under extreme pressure to meet the global food demand, hence necessitating faster crop improvement. Rapid evaluation of the crops using novel imaging technologies coupled with robust image analysis could accelerate crops research and improvement. This proof-of-concept study investigated the feasibility of using X-ray imaging for non-destructive evaluation of rice grain traits. By analyzing 2D X-ray images of paddy grains, we aimed to approximate their key physical Traits (T) important for rice production and breeding: (1) T
resultsThe study indicated, computer-vision based methods (X-ray image segmentation, features-based multi-linear models and thresholding) can predict the physical rice traits (chaffiness, CRK%, HRR%). We showed the feasibility to predict all three traits with reasonable accuracy (chaffiness: R
conclusionsOur study demonstrated the feasibility to predict multiple key physical grain traits important in rice research and breeding (such as chaffiness, CRK%, and HRR%) from single 2D X-ray images of whole paddy grains. Such a non-destructive rice grain trait inference is expected to improve the robustness of paddy rice evaluation, as well as to reduce time and possibly costs for rice grain trait analysis. Furthermore, the described approach can also be transferred and adapted to other grain crops.
