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

The present investigation was conducted at the Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, during 2022-23 to evaluate twenty genetically diverse chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.) genotypes demonstrating cut, loose, and pot culture categories that were grouped further into early, mid, and late maturity groups. The study aimed to assess morphological and reproductive attributes. Significant variations were observed in vegetative parameters, including plant height, spread, branching and stem girth. From the given results, it was noticed that the Ratlam Selection and Solan Shringar recorded maximum plant height, while Punjab Mohini exhibited the highest branching. Flowering traits also varied markedly; early-flowering genotypes consistently showed earliest flower bud initiation, whereas late-flowering types required longer durations for bud initiation. Punjab Mohini was found to be excelled in flower yield, producing the highest number of flowers per plant. Ray floret characteristics also varied, with Jaya showing highest number of florets. Considerable diversity was also observed in flower forms, colours, and RHS colour chart values. Reproductive biology studies indicated that highest pollen viability and pistil receptivity were achieved predominantly on the third day after anthesis, with Bidhan Purna and Haldi Ghati recording the highest values. Overall, genotypes such as Ratlam Selection, Punjab Mohini, Jaya, and Winter Queen emerged as promising for commercial exploitation and breeding.
