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

Plant seeds are one of the most important food sources for humans. As a result, seed morphology and the concentrations of essential and toxic elements in seeds have important implications not only for seed yield and quality, but also for human health. To identify natural variation in the accumulation of various elements in seeds and in seed morphology, high-throughput phenotyping methods are needed. Here, we employed X-ray fluorescence microscopy (μ-XRF) as a method for rapid and high-throughput phenotyping of seed libraries and developed a computer vision-based algorithmic workflow to automatically the extraction of elemental and morphological data from single seeds. This workflow enables rapid segmentation of individual seeds from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) panel with 1163
