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

Handheld devices have become popular to determine epidermal contents of UV-A absorbing compounds in intact leaves. For the comparability of the results between different labs, it is important that all instruments show the same or at least similar results. Therefore, the signals from seven different Dualex Scientific optical leaf clips from five laboratories were compared to each other, alongside a prototype of an LSA-2050 leaf state analyzer and a UV-A-PAM fluorometer. The values of the Flav index, which is used to quantify epidermal UV-A absorbing compounds such as flavonoids, corresponded well with each other (r
