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 Manas River Basin, located in Xinjiang, China, is one of the province's four major agricultural irrigation regions and the first in the country to implement large-scale drip irrigation. While drip irrigation has enhanced water use efficiency, it has also contributed to soil salinization, negatively impacting crop yields and soil health. This study examines the spatial and temporal evolution of soil salinity in the oasis area of the basin from 1996 to 2019. The study evaluates salinization dynamics under long-term irrigation practices using soil salinity inversion models, regression analysis, water-salt balance calculations, geostatistical techniques, and ArcGIS. The results reveal significant improvements in soil salinity conditions, with 78.02% of the region experiencing reduced salinity and 10.09% exhibiting deterioration. From 1996 to 2019, non-salinized soil increased by 1,403.46 km
