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

Fruit drop, cracking, and advanced ripening prior to fruit harvest can promote significant losses in important apple cultivars such as 'Ambrosia' and 'Fuji' grown in the mid-Atlantic. These losses result from environmental factors, delays in harvest due to the lack of red skin color development, and cultivar-specific characteristics, among others. Aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) are ethylene-inhibiting plant growth regulators (PGRs) that can alter preharvest fruit drop, cracking, maturity, and quality by impeding ethylene biosynthesis and perception, respectively. However, there is a knowledge gap on understanding the impacts of specific timings and dosages of such PGR treatments on 'Ambrosia' and 'Fuji' under mid-Atlantic environmental conditions. The objective of this work was to characterize and compare the impacts of specific rates of preharvest ethylene-inhibiting PGRs on fruit drop and cracking, ethylene production, physicochemical properties, skin color, and associated gene expression in 'Ambrosia' and 'Fuji' apples during on-the-tree ripening. Multivariate statistical methods for identifying meaningful correlations among the measured variables were applied. Our results show that both full-rate AVG (130 mg a.i. L
