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

backgroundPrevious studies have shown that the ultrastructure and histochemistry of flowers give insight into the pollination mechanisms of orchid species. The microscopic features of species within the Pleurothallidine subtribe are poorly understood. In this study, we investigated three Lepanthes species: L. calodictyon, L. saltatrix and L. tentaculata. These species have a similar flower morphology that is distinct from that of the other representative of the genus.

resultsOur analyses revealed the presence of features usually associated with myophily. The papillae of lips and petals of the L. calodictyon group were rich in lipids and proteins, which were correlated with high metabolic activity. Furthermore, the ultrastructural and morphological features were similar to those observed in other fragrance-emitting orchid species.

conclusionsHistochemical, ultrastructural and morphological features of the papillae on the surface of the lips and petals of examined taxa indicate that the papillae are osmophores.
