Assessment of intensive agriculture on water quality in the Culiacan River basin, Sinaloa, Mexico.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
The percentage of agricultural land cover effect on water quality in Culiacan River basin is studied in this research. The basin contains only intensive cropland as primary economic activity with 60% of the total area. Mathematical relationships between percentages of cropland and total phosphorus (TP) and total nitrogen (TN) concentrations were established. Sampling sites in middle and lower basin and water quality information during 2013-2018 were considered, and percentages of cropland were obtained by geospatial methods including variable area buffers. During rainy season, coefficients of determination were less than 0.2, although quantified nutrient concentration was higher, related to point sources of pollution in the basin. During dry season, coefficients of determination were higher than 0.76 and 0.90 for TN and TP, respectively, with an exponential mathematical trend. Results suggest that intensive agriculture practices generate accelerated loss of soil consolidation, which is transported to water bodies. These soils are in continuous contact with fertilizers and pesticides, mostly organophosphates which have been transported by runoff and underground flows. Using the information generated will help to establish environmental management plans, and to improve environmental diagnosis and effect in countries where there is not enough historical cartographic information and/or water quality data.
