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
A method has been developed to measure root intersection density (RID) on a trench-profile in field conditions. Here we describe how 2D spatial distribution mapping of RID can be processed and converted into root length density (RLD) and root distances (ARD) using a new freeware named RACINE2.2. The software also allows a simple modeling of potential root extraction ratio in the soil (PRER). The software contains models calculating RLD, ARD, and PRER from RID for several crops (maize, sorghum, sugarcane, rice, pearl millet, pineapple, eucalyptus). Models may be changed or added into RACINE2.2. RLD, ARD, and PRER are calculated for each spatial unit and can be used to generate 2D maps using RACINE2.2. Data can be exported to a spreadsheet or a surface mapping software for further analysis. It is also possible to import data into RACINE2.2 from a spreadsheet. This application thus makes studies about root-soil interactions, root growth, and root uptake easier. It opens new avenues to characterize root systems to improve root water and nutrient uptake in field conditions.
