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

In most plant species, the majority of carbon assimilation takes place in leaves. The export of carbon from leaves to the rest of the plant's organs is thus a fundamental process in plant biology. At the same time, only a few studies have estimated the rate of this process and its dynamics. In the current chapter, we will describe two simple methods for evaluating the rate of carbon export from leaves. Both methods calculate the export as the difference between carbon assimilation and carbon storage. The first method evaluates the carbon storage based on the leaf mass per area (LMA) difference between two time points, while the second method evaluates the carbon storage based on the difference in non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) concentration. We will also explore the differences between the methods and the assumptions that could reduce the accuracy of each method.
