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
Introduction: This study aimed to establish and verify a critical nitrogen dilution model for different organs of maize varieties with different nitrogen efficiencies and clarify differences in nitrogen nutritional characteristics. Methods: Two maize varieties (nitrogen-efficient variety ZH 311 and nitrogen-inefficient variety XY 508) were grown under four nitrogen levels to evaluate N dynamics and dry matter accumulation. Results: The results showed that the critical nitrogen concentration dilution curves based on root dry matter, stem-sheath dry matter, leaf dry matter, and plant dry matter, with coefficient of determination (R²>0.90), all reached significant levels and could be used for nitrogen nutrition diagnosis of maize. However, a and b values of the critical nitrogen concentration models for different organs differed significantly; e.g., the root model had the lowest a value and the leaf model had the lowest b value. ZH 311 exhibited higher a values and lower b values (except in roots) than XY 508. The model established on ZH 311 based on stem-sheath had the highest stability, and the model established on XY 508 based on leaf had the highest stability. Relative yield (RY), nitrogen nutrition index (NNI), and cumulative nitrogen deficit (AND) were significantly correlated at different growth stages of different organs (R²>0.80) using each critical nitrogen concentration dilution curve to predict yield. Discussion: In the high-nitrogen efficiency variety ZH 311, roots, stem-sheath, leaves, and plants showed weaker responses to AND than those of the low nitrogen-efficiency variety ZH 311 with at all growth stages. ZH 311 roots exhibited stronger responses to NNI at the early growth stage, and stem-sheath, leaves, and plants had stronger responses to NNI at the later growth stage, indicating that the high nitrogen-efficiency variety ZH 311 was not sensitive to nitrogen deficiency and was more efficient for nitrogen nutrition.
