Selection of alfalfa water and nitrogen management regimes based on the DSSAT model.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Forage crop production globally faces challenges of low water and nitrogen use efficiency alongside increased environmental pressures, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. The Hetao Irrigation District, a representative area of such regions, is characterized by limited rainfall, high evaporation, insufficient water, and severe soil salinization, which significantly hinder agricultural development. The findings from this study not only address local challenges but also provide insights applicable to other regions facing similar climatic and environmental constraints. This study aimed to optimize water and nitrogen management strategies for alfalfa production in the Hetao Irrigation District by calibrating and validating the DSSAT-FORAGES-Alfalfa model using field experimental data collected during 2022-2023. The calibration involved adjusting key parameters to minimize discrepancies between simulated and observed values, and validation was performed using an independent dataset, evaluated based on metrics such as MAE, RMSE, and R
