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

To accurately quantify the intrinsic absorption efficiency of bamboo leaves to the solar spectrum, we measured the reflectance and transmittance of leaves from 55 bamboo species cultivated at the same site, and developed a mathematical model to calculate the annual cumulative photon absorption of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) per leaf. The results showed the following: (1) Bamboo leaf optical properties exhibited high instrumental and spatial measurement consistency, with transmittance not significantly fluctuating with changes in incident light intensity or quality. (2) Bamboo leaves exhibited significant spectral selective absorption characteristics, with stronger absorption of blue and red light and weaker absorption of green light;
