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 the mid-latitudes, snow is an important component of seasonal precipitation and one of the most important abiotic factors affecting the ecosystem. Winter snow cover may affect plant growth and community function by changing moisture, temperature, nutrient ions and soil micro-environment. Community biomass is an important index reflecting community function, but the way snow cover affects biomass is not clear. We conducted a manipulative experiment with four levels of snow depths in Gurbantunggut Desert in Central Asia, i.e. snow removal (- S), natural snow depth (CK), doubling of snow depth (+ 2S
