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

Plant height (PH) is a key agronomic trait influencing plant architecture. Suitable PH values for cotton are important for lodging resistance, high planting density, and mechanized harvesting, making it crucial to elucidate the mechanisms of the genetic regulation of PH. However, traditional field PH phenotyping largely relies on manual measurements, limiting its large-scale application. In this study, a high-throughput phenotyping platform based on UAV-mounted RGB and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) was developed to efficiently and accurately obtain time series PHs of 419 cotton accessions in the field. Different strategies were used to extract PH values from two sets of sensor data, and the extracted values were used to train using linear regression and machine learning methods to obtain PH predictions. These predictions were consistent with manual measurements of the PH for the LiDAR (R
