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

Nowadays, several Agave species have been described worldwide; they are used for ornamental, agroindustrial, ethnobotanical, and other purposes. Due to excessive use, there is the possibility of losing the germplasm of some species, mainly those that are not cultivated and are listed as endangered. These factors make it necessary to develop strategies to conserve germplasm. Plant biotechnology offers a number of techniques, such as in vitro culture of plant cells and tissues, that can be incorporated into conservation schemes for cultivated, overexploited, threatened, and/or endangered species. Other important strategies for creating in vitro germplasm banks that are complementary to cell and tissue culture are the indefinite conservation of living tissues under controlled conditions of light and temperature. This chapter will mention biotechnological tools for the conservation of Agave species, such as micropropagation, cryopreservation, and seed germination. These strategies have been developed in different species of Agave; in all species, it is necessary to start with micropropagation and later cryopreservation. On the other hand, methodologies are mentioned to improve seed germination and recover populations from the wild or to have a gene pool with commercial interests.
