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

MAIN

conclusionA two-hour night interruption does not significantly impact development in hydroponic Rubus idaeus L. cultivars Polana and Prelude, supporting its use in night interruption for cost savings. As agriculture moves indoors, artificial lighting regimes can modify circadian rhythms, which in turn may impact plant development. Night interruptions have been shown to speed up development in some crops. While positive night interruption impacts are observed in some raspberry Rubus idaeus L. cultivars, this has not been tested on cultivars Polana and Prelude. We tested whether night interruptions impact the growth of raspberries. The hydroponic performance of a common floricane- and primocane-fruiting cultivars, 'Polana' and 'Prelude' respectively, were compared under a 16-h day and 2-h night interruption versus a continuous 18:6 h light-dark photoperiod. Plant growth was measured using the number of buds and flowers produced. Phenological development was also measured using time to budding, flowering, and fruiting stage. Night interruption did not significantly impact either the number of buds (F
