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

Ultraviolet B (UV-B) radiation is a key environmental factor that limits plant growth and development. High UV-B intensity is a typical environmental feature in Turpan-Hami (Tuha) Basin in Xinjiang, China. In this study, the altitude-dependent UV-B adaptation strategies of plants in Tuha Basin were analyzed. Chlorophyll (Chl) and flavonoid (Fla) play an important role in absorbing UV-B radiation, scavenging free radicals, and maintaining photosynthetic performance under UV-B stress. Principal component analysis indicated that the total chlorophyll (Chl t), Chl a, Chl b, and Fla contents and the Chl a/Chl b ratio are important indicators for evaluating plant tolerance to UV-B. Noticeably, with increased altitudes, the roles of Chl b, Chl a/Chl b, and Fla become markedly significant. The characteristics of stomata, epidermal hair, and wax layer are closely correlated with the UV-B amount that reaches leaves. Epidermal hair density and cuticle thickness in leaves decreased with increased altitudes, whereas hydrogen oxide (H
