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

Polyploidy shapes plant physiology and anatomy, yet the extent to which different ploidy levels influence drought responses remains unclear. Here, we investigated how ploidy affects cell-level coordination and functional traits associated with water transport and retention. We used glasshouse-grown plants of the carnation Dianthus broteri, a species complex composed of naturally distinct populations differing in cytotype: diploid (2×), low-polyploid (4×), and high-polyploid (6× and 12×). Leaf anatomical traits scaled with ploidy: higher-ploidy cytotypes exhibited larger stomata and pavement cells, with coordinated reductions in stomatal and vein densities. However, the 12× cytotype deviated from this trend and displayed higher g
