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

Leaf area index (LAI) is a critical indicator of canopy architecture and physiological performance, serving as a key parameter for crop growth monitoring and management. Although UAV multispectral imagery provides rich spectral and spatial information, the limitations of single texture features for LAI estimation still require further exploration. To address this issue, this study developed a multi-source feature fusion framework that integrates vegetation indices (VIs), texture features (TFs), and texture indices (TIs) within a stacked ensemble approach combining Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) with Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) algorithms to estimate maize LAI.A field experiment was conducted under three planting densities (42,000, 63,000, and 84,000 plants ha
