24 claims from these papers.
Papers whose results differ, checked claim by claim 2
2 pairs 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.
- Recovery of Sesame from Defoliation and Growth Terminal Clipping (1994)
decreaseAfter heavy fruiting, 66% defoliation reduced yield 20% in 1989.
Early defoliation modifies root morphology and does not alter the yield of sesame plants (2025)no changeDefoliated sesame had shoot dry mass, grain yield and harvest index similar to undamaged plants.

Papers reporting a negative result or no effect 2
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.
