New sampling strategy to estimate biomass yield and carbon sequestration potential of banana crops in India's tropical semi-arid region.

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
India is the largest producer of bananas. Once bananas are harvested, the remaining standing plants are considered residues but have enormous biomass potential. These biomass residues have applications in biofuel production, soil remediation, water treatment, and food and packaging industries. The standing biomass can be estimated by allometry, which relies on the tree's measurable parameters like diameter or circumference and the specific height at which the circumference is measured. This study adopted a unique approach for developing allometric models that estimate the biomass, carbon stock, and carbon abatement potential of the Musa species cultivar Karpooravalli in tropical semi-arid India. The plant's pseudostem structure was considered a cone frustum and right cylinder to develop models; non-destructive and destructive measurements on 40 Karpooravalli plants were done at two sites to build nine allometric models. Among the models, models 8 and 9 best predict above-ground biomass (AGB). The average AGB of this study is 60.36 kg. The AGB's average moisture is 89.26%, and the average carbon content is 0.4525 kg/kg; these values are integrated with the best model of this study to determine the carbon storage and CO
