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

Stem water storage plays a key role in buffering plants against drought, yet continuous measurements of stem water content remain rare in tropical forest trees. Using frequency domain reflectometry (FDR) sensors, we continuously monitored stem water storage and mobilisation dynamics in co-occurring palm and dicotyledonous tree species in the eastern Amazon during the extreme 2023 drought. This approach provides, to our knowledge, the first temporal high-resolution dataset of stem hydration in Amazonian palms ( Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12042-026-09478-9.
