Improving nitrogen use efficiency in rice by estimating leaf nitrogen content with near-infrared spectroscopy and chemometric modeling.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Accurate nitrogen management in rice (Oryza sativa L.) is essential for optimizing both crop productivity and environmental sustainability. This study evaluated the potential of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) combined with chemometric modeling to classify leaf nitrogen content (LNC) in five rice genotypes (Nerica, Rufipogon, IR64, Ciherang, and Curinga) subjected to five nitrogen fertilization levels (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). Spectral data (350-2500 nm) were processed using Principal Component Analysis followed by Linear Discriminant Analysis (PCA-LDA) to distinguish nitrogen treatments and explore genotype-specific spectral responses. The 1700-2200 nm spectral region yielded the highest classification accuracy, consistently exceeding 94%, indicating strong sensitivity to nitrogen-related biochemical variation. Compared to conventional destructive methods, NIRS provides a non-invasive, rapid, and scalable alternative for nitrogen assessment in field conditions. This is the first study to demonstrate NIRS-based discrimination of nitrogen levels across multiple rice genotypes, offering new avenues for genotype-informed fertilization strategies and improved nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). The results support the objectives of the Green Campus Initiative at the Alliance Bioversity International & CIAT and contribute to broader Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 2, 12, 13, and 15), promoting data-driven, environmentally responsible nutrient management in rice production.
