Leveraging cover crop functional traits and nitrogen synchronization for yield-optimized waxy corn production systems.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Context: Prolonged monoculture of waxy corn ( Objective: Implementing cover cropping post-harvest of waxy corn can utilize residual environmental resources for soil quality improvement. Nevertheless, the agronomic consequences of this practice on canopy architecture optimization and resource allocation dynamics in subsequent growing seasons require systematic elucidation. Methods: The regionally adapted cultivar Wannuo 2000 (W67×W68), predominantly cultivated in northeastern China, was employed for canopy characterization. Three experimental treatments were established, including waxy corn continuous monoculture control (CK), shamrock ( Results: Cover crops integration significantly enhanced waxy corn productivity. Mean yields for ZT and ZB systems during 2022-2023 demonstrated 20.74% (8.88 ± 2.50 Mg ha Conclusion: The integrated cover crop-nitrogen reduction system enhanced both yield and NUE relative to monoculture benchmarks, demonstrating dual benefits in environmental conservation and agricultural productivity enhancement. Implication: This study establishes a theoretical framework and provides empirical evidence for the sustainable intensification of waxy corn production systems.
