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

Increasing leaf dry matter and phenolic content in tomato has the potential to enhance plant resilience, a key requirement for food security and sustainable agriculture in the context of climate change. However, phenolics accumulation in vegetative tissues remains understudied, as does dry matter accumulation. To address this gap, we leveraged 293 recombinant lines of an eight-way Tomato Multi-Parent Advanced Generation Inter-Cross (ToMAGIC) population to identify candidate genes for leaf dry matter and phenolic content. We found significant variation among lines. Leaf dry matter ranged from 6.90 to 23.20% (CV = 24.84%). Substantial variation was also observed for specialized phenolic metabolites, showing larger differences among lines compared with dry matter. Chlorogenic acid, the most abundant phenolic, ranged from 0.18 to 6.77 g kg
