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

Soil active nitrogen (N) fractions are essential for plant growth and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. While previous studies have primarily focused on the impact of vegetation restoration on soil active nitrogen in karst ecosystems, the role of microclimate variation in rocky desertification areas has not been well explored. This study investigates soil active nitrogen fractions and key biotic and abiotic factors across four grades of rocky desertification-non-rocky desertification (NRD), light rocky desertification (LRD), moderate rocky desertification (MRD), and intense rocky desertification (IRD)-within two distinct microclimates: a dry-hot valley and a humid monsoon zone in the karst region of Guizhou Province, China. We evaluate soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), soil nitrate nitrogen (NO
