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

Nitrogen inputs exert significant impacts on plant species composition and ecosystem stability within alpine grasslands. The exploration of leaf functional traits holds great potential in uncovering plants' adaptive strategies and competitive edges, and is pivotal in comprehending the ramifications of nitrogen inputs on biodiversity. In this study, the Bayanbulak grassland was selected as the research subject to investigate the impact of nitrogen addition on leaf functional traits of different plant functional groups. Specifically, various gradients of nitrogen addition were established to observe changes in leaf dry matter content (LDMC) and leaf area (LA) among three distinct plant functional groups. Furthermore, structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the pathways through which nitrogen addition influenced the LDMC of these plant functional groups. The results were as follows: (1) LA and leaf length (LL) of Poaceae changed significantly (
