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.
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
Soil erosion is a major threat in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area (TGRA) of China. Since 1990, the Chinese government has launched a series of ecological restoration projects to promote soil conservation in the TGRA. To understand the effects of ecological restoration on soil conservation in the TGRA, we used the abrupt change analysis of soil mass from 1982 to 2015 and its drivers; soil mass was obtained with the universal soil loss equation at continental scale. We found that soil conservation and annual rainfall decreased in the TGRA over the study period. Abrupt change points of soil conservation occurred in 1984 and 2007. Soil conservation in the TGRA showed a dramatic decrease before 1984, a slow increase after 1984 as a result of climate, and a rapid increase after 2007 due to an increase in vegetation cover. From 1982 to 2015, climate change played a primary role in soil conservation changes and was more influential than topography and vegetation. However, ecological restoration was an important factor affecting soil conservation in the TGRA, and it needs to be promoted.
