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.
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: Desertification is a globally recognized ecological issue that poses severe threats to the environment, economic and social systems. Revegetation is the primary means to combat desertification, yet the effectiveness of revegetation practices requires reasonable quantification. Methods: To identify appropriate planting patterns for revegetation in different deserts and provide a basis for vegetation reconstruction in deserts, we conducted a comprehensive survey in the Ulan Buh Desert and the Kubuqi Desert of the Northern China. Data on vegetation and soil were collected from 54 representative sites, covering both natural and revegetation communities. Results: The findings revealed that the diversity of herbaceous and woody species, and soil nutrient content increased after revegetation, in comparison to adjacent moving sand dunes. Additionally, the species diversity and soil conditions in revegetation areas, gradually approached those of natural vegetation communities, indicating a succession towards a state resembling natural conditions. Variations in the coupling of vegetation-soil systems were observed among different community types in both deserts. Notably, the communities dominated by Discussion: Evaluation of vegetation-soil system coupling effect was used to evaluate the effectiveness of vegetation restoration and species selection in the wo deserts, which can serve as a reference for vegetation reconstruction and ecological restoration in desert areas.
