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

This study investigated the impact of various tillage modes on soil carbon (C) components, crop yield, enzyme activity, and ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) in the North China Plain (NCP), aiming to determine the most effective tillage practice for C sequestration in the region. Field experiments were conducted from 2016 using a split-plot design that included rotary tillage (RT) and deep tillage (DT) during the wheat season and no-tillage (NT), subsoiling in-row (SIR), and subsoiling inter-row (SBR) during the maize season. Related tillage modes based on the total amount of straw returned. Soil bulk density (BD), soil C components, soil organic carbon (SOC) storage, enzyme activities, soil quality index (SQI), EMF, and wheat yield were measured and analyzed. Compared to rotary tillage-no-tillage (RT-NT), the BD of the 0-40 cm soil layer decreased under the other treatments during 2018-2019. The C component content decreased with soil depth across all treatments. Treatments incorporating subsoiling during the maize season led to higher SOC, labile organic carbon (LOC), non-LOC, and microbial biomass carbon (MBC) in the 20-40 cm soil layer. DT-SBR and DT-SIR increased SOC storage. Enzyme activities were highest in the 0-20 cm soil layer under RT-SBR and RT-SIR, while in the 20-40 cm soil layer, enzyme activity peaked under DT-SBR and DT-SIR. The highest SQI value in the 0-20 cm layer was observed under RT-SBR and RT-SIR in both years. Meanwhile, the highest EMF values were under DT-SIR and DT-SBR in the 30-40 cm layer in 2018, ranged from -0.79 to -0.08. Key factors influencing EMF included MBC, LOC, SOC, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC), with EMF showing a strong positive correlation with SQI. Subsoiling during the maize season enhanced wheat yield, with the highest values for RT and DT being 6697 and 6587 kg ha
