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

The effects of the light-emitting diode (LED) spectra on plant growth, flowering, and phytochemical accumulation of African marigold were assessed under controlled conditions. The combination of white, blue, and red LEDs prolonged the time to flower by up to 20 d compared to full white LEDs and other light treatments. The white LEDs are an insufficient lighting condition for marigold growth, indicated by the lower plant and flower biomass. The dichromatic blue-red light and the white-blue-red (WBR) light were most suitable for marigold growth, biomass production, as well as flower quantity and quality. In addition, the highest contents of flavonoids and phenolics were observed in leaves and petals of marigold plants under the WBR treatment. Importantly, the extended spectrum of LEDs, achieved by supplementing white LEDs with the blue-red LEDs, could provide a friendly visual environment for researchers and workers under closed environments and plant factories.
