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

Open-pit coal mine reconstructed ecosystems are ecologically fragile. Retained early stage topsoil is usually not enough to maintain plant growth. For this purpose, we used root exudates to fertilize the reconstructed soil and improve the functioning of the soil microorganism ecology. The roots' exudates increased the concentration of organic matter and total nitrogen by 16-39%. Within a certain concentration range, the higher the concentration of root exudate, the higher the soil fertility. When the concentration of root exudate was 85%, the bacterial abundance decreased. The soil inorganic nitrogen N-NH
