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

Selecting low-nitrogen(N)-tolerant maize hybrids represent an effective approach to enhancing nitrogen use efficiency grain yield. However, the impact of nitrogen fertilization on protein accumulation in low-N-tolerant hybrids remain insufficiently explored. In this paper, a two-year field orientation trial was conducted at four nitrogen fertilizer rate with the different low-N-tolerant maize hybrids. The effect of nitrogen fertilization on the accumulation of protein and its fractions different kernels positions of different low-N-tolerant maize hybrids was studied. The results showed that the protein yield of ZH311 maize kernels was significantly higher than that of XY508, especially under low-N conditions (0N and 150N), and was 25.7%-36.2% higher than that of XY508. There was a significant correlation between protein yield and the accumulation of crude protein and protein fractions. Compared with XY508, the crude protein of ZH311 entered the rapid growth stage later and lasted for a relatively shorter period, but it was 50.8%-53.0% higher due to its higher accumulation rates (v
