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

backgroundSex expression in plants is a complex process influenced by genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors. In cucumbers, a high male-to-female flower ratio significantly contributes to low yields. The application of exogenous plant growth regulators can modify the sex ratio and flowering sequence, potentially improving productivity. In this experiment, effects of plant growth regulators, Spermidine (Spd) at concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, and 0.75 mmol/L and methyl jasmonate (Mj) at concentrations of 0.1, 0.25, and 0.5 mmol L

resultsResults indicate that, overall, female flowers, the female-to-male flower ratio, chlorophyll b, yield, and antioxidant capacity increased in autumn compared to spring. Among various growth-regulating treatments, the application of 0.75 mmol L

conclusionOverall, Spd at 0.75 mmol L
