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 (BC) application is widely recognized as a promising strategy for enhancing soil fertility; however, its lasting effects on microbial communities in aeolian sandy soils of semi-arid regions remain poorly understood. To fill this knowledge gap, we conducted a field experiment to evaluate long-term changes in soil properties and microbial community structure in a buckwheat cropping system, 4 years after a single application of biochar (BC) at rates of 0 (BC0), 20 (BC1), 40 (BC2), and 60 (BC3) Mg ha
