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

Mechanized strawberry transplanting is essential for improving operational efficiency and reducing seedling damage. To address these challenges, this study designed an automatic seedling pick-up device specifically for strawberry transplanters. Firstly, a novel clamp-type picking claw was developed based on the mechanical characteristics analysis of strawberry seedlings extracted from the tray. Based on the operational principles of whole-row seedling extraction, equidistant separation, and precise placement, the structure and working mechanism of the picking-and-placing device were designed. Secondly, a dynamic model of the picking claw was established for kinematic analysis based on coupled EDEM-RecurDyn simulation. The strawberry seedling picking process was conducted to investigate the effects of needle spacing, picking acceleration, and insertion depth on the integrity ratio of the plug seedlings. Finally, an orthogonal experimental design was employed, integrating single-factor tests, analysis of variance, response surface methodology, and multi-objective optimization. The results showed that the optimal seedling picking parameters were picking acceleration of 0.26 m/s
