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

Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are vital nutrients in terrestrial ecosystems, essential for vegetation growth, plant survival, development, and the maintenance of plant diversity. While the effects of N and P additions on plant nutrient concentrations and diversity have been extensively studied, the impact of various stages of natural forest ecosystem restoration after disturbance, particularly on plant N, P nutrients, and diversity, is less understood. This study investigates the influence of anthropogenic disturbance on soil N: P ratios, plant community-level N: P, and species diversity in Liaodong oak forests in northern China during early (about 10 years), mid-to-late (about 30 years), and late (about 40 years) restoration stages (it is a space for time substitution method). We observed that soil total nitrogen to total phosphorus ratio (TN: TP) and soil available nitrogen to phosphorus ratio (AN: AP) were significantly lower in the mid-to-late and late stages of restoration compared to the early restoration stages. Concurrently, plant community level leaf nitrogen-phosphorus ratio (CWM
