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

Leaf area index (LAI) is a key indicator of crop growth and development and is widely used in both agricultural research and precision farming applications. PlanetScope imagery is generally used for monitoring crop growth due to its high revisit frequency, broad spatial coverage, and cost-effective access to consistent high-resolution multispectral data. Therefore, we developed regression models to estimate peanut LAI, combining PlanetScope spectral bands and vegetation indices (VIs). Specifically, we compared the performance of random forest (RF), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), and Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) regression algorithms for peanut LAI estimation. Our results showed that most of the VIs exhibited strong relationships with LAI. Thirteen VIs were individually evaluated for estimating LAI using the aforementioned algorithms, and our results showed that the best single predictors of LAI are: TSAVI (RF: R
