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

In order to enhance the sustainable development of the agroforestry system, this work explored the allelopathic effects between two medicinal plants. Siraitia grosvenorii was selected as the recipient plant and investigated the allelopathic effects of different concentrations of fig tree (Ficus carica L.) stem aqueous extracts on seed germination, seedling growth, and physiological indicators of S. grosvenorii through simulated rainfall and fogging pathways, exploring whether the two medicinal plants are suitable for integrated planting management. It found that the low concentration of fig tree stem (Ficus carica L.) stem aqueous extracts (5.0-10.0 g/L) not only promoted the seed of another medicinal plant S. grosvenorii, but also significantly improved its biomass and photosynthetic parameters. However, with the increase of the concentration of fig tree stem aqueous extracts (15.0-25.0 g/L), the activities of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase of S. grosvenorii first increased and then decreased, and the content of malondialdehyde increased. The synthetic allelopathy index of S. grosvenorii showed a pattern of first increase and then inhibition. It indicated that there is a certain allelopathic relationship between the two medicinal plants, making them suitable for intercropping in the agroforestry system.
