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

Background: A 4-year field study, on the adoption of a Biologically-Enhanced Agricultural Management (BEAM) protocol, in a cotton/cover-crop rotation in Turkey, was designed to observe "change-over-time" of soil organic carbon (SOC%) and total soil nitrogen (TSN%) at three soil profile depths (0-15 cm, 15-30 cm and 30-45 cm) while tracking farm productivity and profitability. Methods: BEAM systems employ regenerative practices: (a) no-till, (b) no, or reduced synthetic nutrient amendments, (c) continuous roots in the ground (commodity/cover), accompanied with an injection (in-furrow at planting) of an extract of beneficial microbes, from a Johnson-Su bioreactor. Three field nitrogen treatments: (1) BEAM+100% N (203 kg N ha Results: The SOC%, in the 0-15 cm soil profile demonstrated a significant increase from 0.39% SOC to 1.83% SOC, for a total increase of 1.44%, over the 4-year study period, (y = 0.3136x + 0.1206; r
