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
Silicon (Si) application has improved yield and stress tolerance in sugarcane crops. In this respect, C:N:P stoichiometry makes it possible to identify flows and interaction between elements in plants and their relationship with growth. However, few studies have investigated the influence of Si on physiological variables and C:N:P stoichiometry in sugarcane. As such, this study aimed to assess the effect of increasing Si concentrations on the growth and stoichiometric composition of sugarcane plants in the early growth stage. The experiment was conducted in pots, using four Si concentrations (0, 0.8, 1.6 and 3.2 mM). Biomass production, the concentration and accumulation of C, N, P and Si as well as the relationship between them were assessed. Silicon application increased biomass production, the rate of photosynthesis, instantaneous carboxylation efficiency and C, N, P and Si accumulation, in addition to altering stoichiometric ratios (C:N, C:P, N:P and C:Si) in different parts of the plants. The decline in C concentration associated with greater N and P absorption indicates that Si favoured physiological processes, which is reflected in biomass production. Our results demonstrate that Si supply improved carbon use efficiency, directly influencing sugarcane yield as well as C and nutrient cycling.
