note:if the experiment has many factors, the paper may not report the mean and statistics for each treatment. Often, the reported data will be reflect the results of more than one treatment, for example if there was no effect of the treatement on the quantity of interest. In some cases it will be possible to calculate the values for each treatment, e.g. if there are values and
treatments. If this is not the case, the treatment names and definitions should be changed to indicate that data reflect the results of more than one experimental treatments
