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

Introduction: The alpine meadows of the Tibetan Plateau play a crucial role in the grassland ecosystem. However, due to the rapid growth and strong competitiveness of broad-leaved grasses, the nutritional resources and living space available for Gramineae species are severely restricted in this region. Broad-leaved grasses and noxious weeds have evolved into dominant population, severely limiting grassland production in alpine meadows. A shortage of premium seeds limits grassland ecosystem restoration efforts. Methods: Therefore, this study investigated the effect of combinations of four levels of a broad-leaved grass inhibitor (0, 0.9, 1.5, and 2.1 kg·hm Results: We observed that the grass inhibitor significantly ( Discussion: This approach (using broad-leaved grass inhibitors and nitrogen fertilizer) effectively reduced competition from broad-leaved grasses and increased the proportion of
