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

Zero hunger is a top priority in the Sustainable Development Goals, however, millions of people worldwide still face hunger. Over the years, China has experienced rapid population growth, industrialization and urbanization, leading to significant agricultural land loss, which threats the nation's food supply. Understanding the patterns and driving factors of non-agriculturalization is crucial for its protection. The Minjiang River Basin, the largest tributary of the Yangtze River, is densely populated and experiencing rapid urbanization, making it a typical snapshot of the non-agriculturalization in China. This study comprehensively examines the characteristics and trends in the spatiotemporal evolution of cultivated land in the Minjiang River Basin, along with the drivers of non-agriculturalization. The results reveal the findings: (1) From 1990 to 2020, the cultivated land in the Minjiang River Basin has decreased and mainly concentrated in flat areas. The spatiotemporal evolution of cultivated land exhibits low dispersion and strong directionality, predominantly shifting northward, and the migration of cultivated land can be divided into three stages. (2) A consistent positive spatial correlation is observed in the non-agriculturalization areas of cultivated land in the Minjiang River Basin, with high-high (HH) clustering analysis revealing an aggregation pattern radiating outward from the city center. (3) Population growth and economic factors are the primary drivers of non-agriculturalization in the Minjiang River Basin.
