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

Compared with other cereals, rye (Secale cereale L.) has traits that contribute to superior drought tolerance, thus making it a suitable alternative under intensifying droughts related to climate change. The distributions of these traits across a range of varieties and their relationships with yield potential have yet to be fully elucidated. Therefore, the sensitivity of 20 varieties, which differ in origin and age, to drought stress between the second half of stem elongation and the beginning of grain filling was analyzed. Potted plants were exposed to drought on an automated phenotyping platform, enabling accurate simulation of water loss for all varieties. Soil moisture was reduced to 30% of the soil water capacity, followed by rewetting. Although traditional varieties exhibited greater stability of key yield components under drought stress, modern varieties achieved higher absolute yields under both drought and well-watered conditions. Therefore, traditional varieties cannot replace modern varieties but remain valuable donors of drought resistance traits.
