Short-stature maize systems reduce carbon intensity of grain production by an average of 13% compared to commercially relevant tall comparators.

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
The sustainable intensification of crop production provides more output with similar or fewer inputs, and therefore helps to produce food, feed, fiber, and fuel more efficiently. While short-stature maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids have been shown to be more climate resilient, with reductions in yield-scaled greenhouse gas production due to reduced crop damage during wind events, other aspects of the climate impact of short-stature maize remain to be quantified. Here we will discuss the use of the greenhouse gases, regulated emissions, and energy use in transportation life cycle assessment model and data inputs from 199 total site-years of grain yield data, 11 site-years of root data, and 10 site-years of stover nitrogen (N) data to determine the carbon (C) footprint of short-stature maize systems for grain production. Short-stature maize hybrids had comparable grain yields to tall comparators under standard management; however, leveraging benefits of the systems, such as in-season access, and higher plant populations improved the yield and efficiency of production. Root volume was increased by 39% for short-stature hybrids compared to tall hybrids. Across a range of agronomic system scenarios, that consider changes in plant density and improved in-season access for split-rate N application, and soil C dynamics, there is a range of greenhouse gas savings of 0.09-0.78 t CO
