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

This article describes precise and unpublished data on leaf anatomy of Melinis minutiflora P. Beauv. This species is an aggressive invasive plant that invades Environmental Protection Areas. Studies on the dissociation of the leaf epidermis using histological techniques could help to identify specific leaf characteristics that can significantly influence the success of invasion into new environments. This study identifies, for the first time, a histological technique that makes it possible to dissociate the entire leaf epidermis of the invasive species M. minutiflora in order to evaluate the anatomical structures in frontal view. The freehand paradermal cut, the hydrochloric acid and sodium hypochlorite methods and the epidermal impression technique were evaluated. The median region of each leaf was sectioned into samples of approximately 1 cm
