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

China's natural terrestrial ecosystems (NTEs) are significant sources and sinks of methane (CH₄) and nitrous oxide (N₂O), two potent non-CO₂ greenhouse gases. This article reviews CH₄ and N₂O inventories for China's NTEs, derived from site-specific extrapolation and models, to elucidate their spatiotemporal emission patterns. Despite progress, significant gaps remain, including large uncertainties due to model limitations and inconsistent driving data, insufficient assessments of integrated global warming potential (GWP) under long-term land-use and climate changes, the lack of freshwater emission inventories, and the need for more observations, refined prior sectoral contributions, and novel methods like isotopic signature applications in machine-learning and inversion techniques. This review offers a new perspective by compiling a new CH₄ and N₂O inventory and evaluating their integrated GWP for 1980-2020, developed using multi-model approaches to assess climate and land-use impacts. The review underscores the importance of CH₄ and N₂O sources and sinks, offering recommendations to enhance carbon sequestration and reduce emissions.
