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 salinization stands as a prominent global environmental challenge, necessitating enhanced assessment methodologies. This study is dedicated to refining soil salinity assessment in the Lake Urmia region of Iran, utilizing multi-year data spanning from 2015 to 2018. To achieve this objective, soil salinity was measured at 915 sampling points during the 2015-2018 timeframe. Simultaneously, remote sensing data were derived from surface reflectance data over the same study period. Four distinct scenarios were considered such as a newly developed spectral index (Scenario I), the newly developed index combined with other salt-based spectral indices from the literature (Scenario II), indirect spectral indices based on vegetation and soil characteristics (Scenario III), and the amalgamation of both direct and indirect spectral indices (Scenario IV). Linear Regression (LR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and Random Forest (RF) were employed to assess soil salinity. The measured data divided to 75% of the data as the calibration dataset, while the remaining 25% constituted the validation dataset. The findings revealed a correlation between soil salinity and spectral indices from the literature, with a range of -0.53 to 0.51, while the newly developed spectral index exhibited a stronger correlation (r = 0.59). Furthermore, RF yielded superior results when using the newly developed spectral index (Scenario I). Overall, SVM emerged as the most effective model (ME = -9.678, R
