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

We report here the first application of the Spatially Referenced Regressions on Watershed Attributes (SPARROW) model to China, a country naturally and culturally distinct from previous SPARROW applications. The Songhuajiang River Basin (556,700 km(2)) empties into the Tongjiang monitoring section, a shared water resource of great import for both Chinese and Russian citizens. The model was calibrated to annual loads of total nitrogen (TN) at 102 sites and total phosphorus (TP) at 65 sites. We assessed the rates of delivery and loss of nutrients from diffuse sources and also provided reach-level predictions of the percentage of nutrient loads delivered from upstream subbasins to Tongjiang monitoring section. The results indicated that farmland and pasture land were responsible for about 70 % of nutrient inputs to the Tongjiang monitoring section. Point source inputs were not statistically significant sources of TN or TP. We presented evidence that rice paddies delivered less TN to streams per area than other types of cropland. The locations responsible for the highest TN and TP inputs to the Tongjiang monitoring section tended to be located near the mainstream, though the areas of highest TN delivered yield did not correspond to the areas of highest TP delivered yield. This suggests that different management priorities may be needed in different parts of the Songhuajiang River Basin.
