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

Pollinator sharing among coflowering plants can reduce plant fitness through heterospecific pollen (HP) deposition. Compatible HP is expected to cause stronger reproductive interference, but the factors determining HP-pistil compatibility and its reproductive consequences remain poorly understood. Moreover, in some apocarpous taxa, the extragynoecial compitum, a basal pore formed by the incomplete fusion of carpel margins, can enhance reproductive assurance by facilitating conspecific pollen (CP) tube reallocation across free pistils. What remains unclear is how these taxa balance the trade-off between this benefit and the potential risk of reproductive interference from intercarpellary heterospecific pollen (HP) tube growth. In this study, widely distributed apocarpous
