SPAD dynamics in maize crop with precision nitrogen management under rain-fed and irrigated conditions.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Real-time monitoring of canopy chlorophyll content is crucial for understanding crop growth and guiding precision agricultural management. The SPAD chlorophyll meter is a valuable tool for assessing nitrogen status in maize (Zea mays L.), a key cereal crop used for food, feed, and biofuels. Efficient nitrogen management is essential to maximize maize yield, particularly under varying water regimes. A study conducted over two years (2020-2021) utilized a strip plot design to investigate the spatiotemporal dynamics of SPAD readings and their correlation with maize yield under rainfed (M1) and irrigated (M2) conditions. Eight precision nitrogen management practices were implemented, including SPAD at sufficiency index and Green Seeker at response index, achieving ranges of 86-100% and 1.11-1.41, respectively. The findings revealed that irrigated maize produced significantly higher grain yields (6347 kg ha
