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

Cultivation of honeysuckle, Lonicera japonica, irrigated with brackish-water, represents a new way to exploit saline-alkali land in the Yellow River Delta. However, how L. japonica responds to brackish-water irrigation is not clear. Biomass allocation, carbon-nitrogen stoichiometry, and carbon and nitrogen storage in L. japonica under four brackish-water irrigation treatments (T0: 0 mm, T40: 40 mm, T80: 80 mm, T120: 120 mm) were examined. Brackish-water irrigation significantly affects tissue biomass and the proportions of roots and stems in L. japonica. Root, stem, and leaf biomass increase with increased amount of brackish-water irrigation. The proportion of root biomass decreases significantly with increased brackish-water irrigation, root and leaf C contents increase, and stem and leaf N contents decrease. The proportion of root C storage trends downward with increased brackish-water irrigation, but the curve is concave for the proportion of root N storage. Root, stem, and leaf biomass correlate significantly with C and N contents, and C:N ratios for the three organs, excepting leaf C contents. Our results suggested that T120 is more conducive to the biomass accumulation of L. japonica, and promotes the C content of most organs, but reduces their N content. These findings improve our understanding of the response of L. japonica to brackish-water irrigation, demonstrate that brackish-water irrigation is a viable technique to save water in irrigation, and identify a new use for saline-alkali land in the Yellow River Delta.
