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

Biochar application can increase cultivated soil organic carbon (SOC) and fertility, especially in saline‒alkali soils facing climate change and salinization. To evaluate the effects of biochar application on SOC composition and structure, a 5-year maize field trial (2019-2023) was conducted in the Tarim River Basin, involving seven treatments with the following respective mineral N inputs (kg N ha
