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

Leaf pubescence provides multiple protective functions against herbivores, water loss, and high irradiance in alpine plants, but how does it prevent photoinhibition when plants face simultaneous high radiation and low temperatures remain unclear. We investigated how leaf pubescence affects photosynthetic efficiency, thermal regulation, and photoprotective pigments in Phacelia secunda (Boraginaceae) across an elevational gradient in the Andes of Central Chile. We experimentally manipulated pubescence (intact vs. reduced with a razor blade) in plants collected from contrasting elevations (2100 and 3600 m a.s.l.) and exposed them to different temperatures (4 °C and 15 °C) and light regimes (40 to 1660 µmol m
