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
Technological advances have made drones (UAVs) increasingly important tools for the collection of trait data in plant science. Many costs for the analysis of plant populations have dropped precipitously in recent decades, particularly for genetic sequencing. Similarly, hardware advances have made it increasingly simple and practical to capture drone imagery of plant populations. However, converting this imagery into high-precision and high-throughput tabular data has become a major bottleneck in plant science. Here, we describe high-throughput phenotyping methods for the analysis of numerous plant traits based on imagery from diverse sensor types. Methods can be flexibly combined to extract data related to canopy temperature, area, height, volume, vegetation indices, and summary statistics derived from complex segmentations and classifications including using methods based on artificial intelligence (AI), computer vision, and machine learning. We then describe educational and training resources for these methods, including a web page (PlantScienceDroneMethods.github.io) and an educational YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@travisparkerplantscience) with step-by-step protocols, example data, and example scripts for the whole drone data processing pipeline. These resources facilitate the extraction of high-throughput and high-precision phenomic data, removing barriers to the phenomic analysis of large plant populations.
