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

Poor quality of irrigation water and soil are among the major factors determining maize productivity in Ethiopia. This study assessed and evaluated the quality of irrigation water and soil under maize production in Soke and Woybo irrigation schemes in Boloso Sore district, Ethiopia. Four water samples per site per season were collected from the first point of the irrigation schemes and farm gate for dry and rainy seasons in 2019/2020. Soil samples of 108 were collected from 36 points, from which 18 composited samples were taken for laboratory analysis. Results show that irrigation water of the two schemes is non-saline (electrical conductivity <0.2 dS m
