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

For many people, the culture of plant science, and science more broadly, can feel alienating and intimidating, which often leads to them leaving the discipline for other opportunities. However, studies show that there is a correlation between creative problem solving and increased diversity, and plant science cannot afford to lose talented individuals. Here we report on strategies to promote diversity, inclusion, and a sense of belonging for all within plant science. We address ways that institutions, organizations, communities, educators, and individuals can contribute to this needed cultural change. We urge all plant scientists to participate in these efforts; for each other, for the discipline, and for the future.
