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

Labor shortages and rising high labor costs are primary drivers of increased production costs in pod pepper cultivation. While mechanization represents a viable solution, current incompatibility between agronomic practices and agricultural machinery constrains its efficiency. This underscores the critical need for plant architecture regulation technologies to enable effective mechanized production. This study evaluated the effects of foliar spraying of plant growth regulator prohexadione calcium (ProCa) combined with different substances on the plant architecture, yield and quality of pod peppers. Five treatments were set up in the experiment: (1) ProCa, (2) ProCa + KH
