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

Bet-hedging is an evolutionary strategy encountered in several plant and animal species that allows minimizing the risks by sacrificing mean fitness for a reduction in temporal fitness variation. The objective of the present work was to test the existence of a bet-hedging strategy in plant-parasitic cyst nematodes. The survival stage, the cyst, protects eggs containing second-stage juveniles (J2) and can survive more than ten years in the soil. For some cyst nematode species, hatching of J2 mainly depends on a stimulation by root exudates of their host plant(s). The carrot cyst nematode
