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

• Rationale: Plants in urban environments often experience heat stress and responses to heat stress often include vegetative and reproductive traits like rosette width and fruit morphology. However, our understanding of natural variation in vegetative and reproductive traits in urban environments is severely limited. • Methods: We grew an urban weed, • Key results: We found that temperatures above 30C act as an environmental constraint on both • Main conclusions: While plants may grow and survive in the high urban heat, heat could still limit population persistence.
