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

backgroundThe green bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), of the 'Lamuyo' type, is a highly valued vegetable owing to its excellent organoleptic and nutritional properties. However, these properties are subject to deterioration during postharvest storage, which in turn limits the shelf-life of the pepper fruit. The present study examined the impact of preharvest treatment with 0.1 and 1.0 mmol L

resultsThe study was conducted over two seasons (2020 and 2021) on green pepper fruit. The findings indicated that the application of MeJA had a favourable impact on crop yield in both growing seasons. Additionally, the treated peppers showed a 1.17-fold reduction in weight loss and respiration rate, accompanied by augmented firmness, hue angle values, total soluble solids and total acidity in comparison to the controls. Applying 0.1 mmol L

conclusionThe study demonstrates that the most efficacious concentration for enhancing yield and quality parameters by stimulating the secondary metabolism of peppers was 0.1 mmol L
