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
Water scarcity is a critical environmental stress that profoundly constrains rice growth and productivity. Consequently, the development of drought-tolerant and high-yielding rice genotypes is of paramount importance to sustain rice production and safeguard global food security. This field-based study aimed to evaluate the physiological and agronomic performance of diverse advanced rice breeding lines to identify genotypes with high yield and drought tolerance. A set of 15 newly developed rice lines and three check cultivars were used to assess their physiological and agronomic responses under well-watered (WW) and water-deficit (WD) conditions over two consecutive growing seasons, 2022 and 2023. The results showed highly significant differences (p < 0.01) among irrigation regimes, genotypes, and their interactions for all studied traits. Under WD conditions, there was a substantial decrease in chlorophyll content, relative water content (RWC), plant height, grain yield (GY), and yield attributes. On the other hand, leaf rolling, proline content, antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase and peroxidase), and sterility percentage were significantly increased compared to WW conditions. The genotypes L8, Sakha-107, and IRAT-170 had the best performance for chlorophyll content, RWC, and stomatal conductance under WD conditions, respectively. Additionally, L5 and L11 recorded the highest GY under WD conditions. The principal component analysis combined with correlation matrix analysis emphasized that both physiological traits (chlorophyll content, RWC, proline accumulation, peroxidase activity, and catalase activity) and agronomic traits (number of panicles per plant and GY) can be considered as effective selection criteria to improve productivity in rice breeding programs under limited water conditions. Notably, genotypes L5 and L11 demonstrated superior GY performance under water-deficit conditions, representing the most valuable genetic materials for drought-prone environments. These elite genetic resources constitute promising germplasm for introgression into breeding programs to enhance rice's drought resilience and maintain productivity under water-limited conditions.
