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

Epiphytes occupy arboreal niches in forest ecosystems, which are particularly vulnerable to drought stress due to the absence of a buffered substrate for water retention in epiphytic habitats. Characterizing the differences and relationships among plant morphological and physiological traits is critical for elucidating different adaptive strategies. However, it is still unclear whether there are differences in floral and leaf morphological and physiological traits between epiphytic and terrestrial plants, and whether there is a correlation between flower and leaf traits in epiphytes. Here, we measured 13 floral traits and 8 leaf traits from 7 terrestrial and 12 epiphytic
