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

Allelochemicals released into the soil from the leaves of eucalyptus species affect the growth and physiology of various crops. This study aimed to evaluate the allelopathic effects of aqueous and methanolic leaf extracts from Eucalyptus camaldulensis on three Ethiopian wheat cultivars (Assasa, Mukiye and Ude) of Triticum durum L. It was conducted as a pot experiment, and it utilized four concentrations of the extracts (Control (0%), 10%, 15%, and 20%) in a completely randomized design with three replicates. Results indicated that both extracts inhibited plant growth, biomass, and yield, with the methanolic extract showing stronger inhibitory effects. For instance, a concentration of 20% methanolic leaf extracts decreased chlorophyll fluorescence in the Assasa, Ude, and Mukiye cultivars by 53.97%, 36.36%, and 36.51%, respectively. The growth of both shoots and roots in Assasa, Ude, and Mukiye was significantly reduced at higher concentrations. Increasing concentrations of the extracts led to greater reductions in seedling traits and overall crop yield, with significant impacts observed (p ≤ 0.05). The findings suggest that eucalyptus should not be planted on agricultural land due to its negative impact on crop productivity.
