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

Accurate alfalfa biomass prediction is crucial for pasture management and sustainable livestock production. However, traditional methods often perform poorly under complex field conditions. To address the limited prediction accuracy of traditional methods under complex planting environments, this study proposes an alfalfa biomass prediction method combining multispectral and LiDAR data with ensemble learning model. Based on the multispectral images acquired by unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and airborne LiDAR data, the spectral features, three-dimensional structural features, and their interaction features are systematically extracted at the quadrat scale, and a high-quality modeling dataset is constructed by feature selection. Secondly, an ensemble model for alfalfa biomass prediction was constructed, which was composed of random forest, extra trees, and histogram gradient boosting. After model training, the coefficient of determination (R
