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

Studies of nitrogen mineralization and diagenetic status of organic matter evaluated by total hydrolysable amino acids (THAAs) were designed to test the hypothesis that nitrogen mineralization in sediments was a potential source of ammonium in strongly artificially disturbed rivers such as the Ziya River watershed. Ammonium and organic nitrogen in both water and sediment samples were the major forms of nitrogen in the watershed. NH3-N was significantly correlated with organic nitrogen in both water (R = 0.823, P < 0.01) and sediments (R = 0.787, P < 0.01). Organic nitrogen with an average content of 3,275.21 ± 1,476.10 mg · kg(-1), accounted for 82.73 % of total nitrogen (TN) in sediments. Organic nitrogen was a potential source of ammonia release into overlying water. Nitrogen mineralization experiments showed that accumulated dissolved inorganic nitrogen ranged from 326.15 to 545.72 mg · kg(-1) and accumulated NH3-N ranged from 320.95 to 533.93 mg · kg(-1). Most of the mineralized nitrogen was NH3-N ( approximately 98.17%) and mineralized nitrogen in sediments ranged from 6.20 to 22.10% of TN. Twenty amino acids were detected, accounting for 45.70 % of organic nitrogen. Protein amino acids, accounting for 89.22% of THAAs, were the dominant THAAs in sediments. The ratio of L-glutamic acid to γ-aminobutyric acid and degradation index showed that the organic matter was poorly degraded and presented a high potential risk of ammonium mineralization.
