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

Flowering is a pivotal developmental transition in the life cycle of plants, and the precise timing of this process is crucial for successful reproduction. The flowering mechanism of the pineapple is influenced by a combination of genetic factors, environmental conditions and cultivation methods. Once pineapple plants have reached a certain number of leaves, the timing of floral bud differentiation can be regulated by applying plant growth regulators. This facilitates staggered fruit production and enables a balanced year-round supply. The timing, quantity and quality of floral bud differentiation directly affect pineapple fruit quality and yield, and also significantly impact the economic and social benefits of the pineapple industry. This paper provides a systematic review of the morphological characteristics of flowers, the patterns of floral bud differentiation, the mechanisms underlying natural and induced flowering, and the key factors influencing flowering in pineapples. This review establishes a theoretical foundation for regulating fruiting periods and optimising high-quality, high-efficiency cultivation practices.
