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

A three-dimensional numerical simulation model was developed to examine the dispersion and migration of droplets in large, naturally ventilated seawater cooling towers, as well as the pattern of salt deposition influenced by nearby buildings and crosswinds. Following a comprehensive hydrogeological survey at the site, we analyzed the effects of salt deposition on the salinity of surface water, paddy fields, and soil. Additionally, a seed planting trial was conducted to observe the growth of wheat in 11 different soil salinity conditions. The findings revealed that salt deposition did not alter the classifications of surface water quality, paddy water functionality, or soil salinization. However, soil salinity significantly affected the germination rate, bud length, bud fresh weight, and root-to-shoot ratio of the wheat variety Cangmai 6002. Assuming no erosion or dilution from rainfall, the soil salinity remained under 0.2% for 40 years, not impacting wheat yield.
