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

The rational application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer plays a crucial role in promoting crop growth and increasing yields. The application of slow-release fertilizer has emerged as an important agronomic measure to further increase yield and production efficiency. In this study, a field trial with the maize hybrid Jiangyu877 was conducted to investigate the effects of six fertilizer combinations [no fertilizer (P1), common N application (P2), slow-release N application (P3), common N and slow-release N 1:1 application (P4), 1:2 application (P5), and 2:1 application (P6)] on yield and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Fertilization significantly increased maize yield, with the greatest increase occurring in the treatment combining common and slow-release N. Among all the treatments receiving equal N amounts, the P5 resulted in the highest yield and NUE than the other treatments did. Compared with those in the P3, the dry matter accumulation of the P5 increased by 6.6-13.7%, the N accumulation increased by 13.0-16.3%, and the NUE increased by 8.1-11.5%. In addition, compared with those in the P3, the 1000-grain weight and number of grains per cob significantly increased, the yield increased by 2.6-4.5%, and the net income increased by 17.1-80.4% over the 3 years. In conclusion, in the summer maize production in Jiangsu Province, China, under a planting density of 75,000 plants ha
