1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 salinity is known to be a significant threat to food security for the increasing population, which is further aggravated under the climate change scenario. Indo-Gangetic plain (IGP) is one of the most productive in the world and is most affected by salinity. To understand the modifications in soil characteristics under different management practices followed to reclaim salinity affected land, the present study was conducted at variously reclaimed saline areas of three districts of Uttar Pradesh situated in IGP. Soil from six sites (electrical conductivity (EC) ranging from 0.89 to 10.28 mS) following different management practices, RJT (Rajatalab, rice-wheat +organic), BBN (Beerbhanpur, rice-wheat +inorganic), MZM (Mirzamurad, rice-mustard +organic), BRP (Baraipur, rice-wheat +organic), DHR (Dharahara, rice-fallow +organic) and SLM (Salempur, rice-wheat +inorganic) were assessed for physical, chemical and biological properties during the vegetative stage and after harvest of crops. Soil quality index (SQI) based on representative parameters obtained by principal component analysis and yield of crops were also calculated at saline and non-saline sites. The SLM site showed highest salinity followed by BRP, DHR, MZM, while BBN and RJT were non-saline. Total organic carbon, total nitrogen, microbial activity, and microbial biomass were low at saline compared to non-saline sites but were higher under organic matter amendment compared to inorganic. Activities of soil enzymes were negatively influenced while β-glucosidase and alkaline phosphatase activities were enhanced under higher salinity. Organic amendments were more efficient in improving the soil properties along with SQI at saline soil resulting into a better yield in all crop combinations compared to inorganic amendments.
