Papers whose results differ, checked claim by claim 1
1 pair of papers on this question report results that differ: an effect in one paper, the opposite effect or no effect in the other. Two model reviewers reading both claims accepted each pair.
- Influence of Seeding Rate and Herbicide Treatments on Weed Control, Yield, and Quality of Spring‐Seeded Glyphosate‐Resistant Alfalfa (2010)
no changeGlyphosate did not reduce alfalfa stem density between harvests.
Delayed Glyphosate Application Doesn't Reduce Plant Density of Glyphosate‐Tolerant Alfalfa (2008)decreaseGlyphosate one month after planting killed an average 6.5% of alfalfa plants.

A paper is on the positive side when any of its claims here is positive. Claims are grouped by organism, treatment and what was measured or targeted. Claims that compare genotypes are left out; a claim about lacking a nutrient counts the other way round in that nutrient’s question. “Results differ” marks a question where two model reviewers, reading both claims, accepted at least one pair of papers whose results differ.
