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

Rising health care cost in Canada and other developed countries, as well as the pressure for climate change mitigation, reflects the importance of consumption and production-related externalities in agriculture. This study assesses the economic returns to the biotech canola industry in Canada, considering potential health care savings and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction associated with canola oil consumption and canola seed production. It is shown that the indirect benefits of consumption and production-related externalities associated with the canola sector are substantial aspects of the gains from agricultural research investments and the impacts of agriculture policy. Our estimates suggest that the external implications of increased canola production and consumption could exceed 20% of the economic effect of biotechnological improvements in canola. The impact on research policy and improvement in overall social welfare are also discussed.
