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

This study investigates the integrative effects of irrigation water management allowable depletion (MAD), furrow irrigation methods (FIM), and nitrogen fertilizer application rate (NFAR) on tomato yield components. These yield components include marketable, unmarketable, and total yield. Additionally, the study examines crop agronomy components such as plant height, number of branches, and root depth in semi-arid Southern Ethiopia. The research employs a factorial and split-plot design. Three types of FIM are assigned as the main plot, while three levels of irrigation water (50 %, 75 %, and 100 % MAD) and four levels of NFAR (0 %, 50 %, 100 %, and 150 % NFAR) serve as the subplots, with three replications. The study results reveal significant impacts of these factors. All p-values for tomato yield and agronomy-measured components are less than 0.05. FIM, irrigation water level, and NFAR interaction affect marketable, unmarketable, and total tomato yield. The results ranged from 2.3 tons ha⁻
