Impact of land use type and altitudinal gradient on topsoil organic carbon and nitrogen stocks in the semi-arid watershed of northern Ethiopia.
Article in Heliyon, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Understanding the role of soils in the soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) cycle is essential, assumed that these parameters are among the key soil quality indicators in a given landscape. Nothing but their status is in a state of continual flux due to land-use, soil management practices, and nature of topographic features. Thus, this study has evaluated the effect of land-use types and altitudinal gradient on SOC and TN concentrations and stocks at a watershed scale in northern Ethiopia. A total of 450 topsoil samples (0-30 cm depth) were collected from four different land-use types (Fig.3) across three elevational categories (Fig.1(b)), and their SOC and TN distributions were studied using descriptive statistics and geostatistical methods. Results revealed significant (p < 0.05) differences in SOC and TN concentrations and stocks by land-use type, elevation, and their interactions. The highest SOC stock was recorded at the lower elevation in GL (7.24 Mg C ha
