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

Bryophyta (mosses) are a basal group of plants that lack stomata in their haploid form. Consequently, these plants are defined as poikilohydric, meaning poor control over water loss, and their cytosol is assumed to reach equilibrium with ambient humidity. This classification does not fully align with the diverse strategies observed in mosses. We studied gas exchange in 16 species under controlled dehydration conditions. Our results revealed that the cell wall water potential was below the cytosolic water potential in most species, as reflected by relative humidity at the cell wall surface decreasing to as low as 60% even under optimum hydric conditions. This indicates that cell membranes and/or cell walls involve barriers with higher resistance to water movement than previously assumed (2.7-23 MPa m
