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 notable characteristic of phenoplasticity in Convolvulus species is flower color polymorphism, with blooms ranging from white to pink. This variation is due to various factors, including genetic drift and natural selection. The primary objective is to conduct a study on the morphoplasticity of eight accessions collected from diverse locations and categorized into three distinct biotypes based on floral pigmentation: Biotype 1 (White; accessions 1, 4, and 7), Biotype 2 (Pale Pink; accessions 2, 5, and 8), and Biotype 3 (Pink; accessions 3 and 6) of Convolvulus arvensis L. Based on the aforementioned characteristics-flower colour, stem outline, leaf shape, pollen features, shape, colpus and pori shapes, epidermal cell shape, and the number of vascular bundles in both stem and petiole-the study employed morphological and anatomical studies, as well as CDDP markers, to evaluate differences among accessions. Leaf tissues are parenchyma above the main vascular bundle, with an angle between the midrib and the wing region. Three distinct biotypes (B1, B2, and B3) have been defined. CDDP marker analysis revealed high polymorphism (74.36%) and Rp (9.50). Samples 7 and 8 (location 3) showed the most informative polymorphism of flower color (white/pale pink/pink). Genetic distances clustered samples primarily by location rather than by color, underscoring the dominant role of location in structuring populations. The interaction between genotype and ecological conditions led to the genetic variation in flower color in C. arvensis.
