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

Introduction: Optimizing nitrogen (N) fertilizer management is key to reducing active N losses in farmland. While current research has proposed various methods to minimize N losses, it often overlooks the need for integrated strategies that address both N losses and crop productivity. By clarifying the impact of different N fertilizer optimization practices on crop productivity and N loss, rational N fertilizer management strategies can be adopted to achieve stable crop yields and reduction in N application rates. Methods: Our study collected 476 peer-reviewed papers and used meta-analysis to analyze the impact of different N optimization management practices (combined application of organic-inorganic fertilizer, deep fertilization, and enhanced-efficiency fertilizer) on yield, N use efficiency, and N loss (N Results: Optimized N management led to a 5%-10% increase in yield, a 17%-21% improvement in N use efficiency, and reductions in N Conclusion: Twice fertilization, the combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers, and the appropriate application of enhanced-efficiency fertilizer could improve rice yield, decrease N losses and ensure food security and improve the sustainable agricultural development.
