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

In this paper, different machine learning methodologies have been evaluated for the estimation of the multiple soil characteristics of a continental-wide area corresponding to the European region, using multispectral Sentinel-3 satellite imagery and digital elevation model (DEM) derivatives. The results confirm the importance of multispectral imagery in the estimation of soil properties and specifically show that the use of DEM derivatives improves the quality of the estimates, in terms of R2, by about 19% on average. In particular, the estimation of soil texture increases by about 43%, and that of cation exchange capacity (CEC) by about 65%. The importance of each input source (multispectral and DEM) in predicting the soil properties using machine learning has been traced back. It has been found that, overall, the use of multispectral features is more important than the use of DEM derivatives with a ration, on average, of 60% versus 40%.
