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

Carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) are fundamental elements for plant growth and metabolism. Leaf C-N-P stoichiometry provides critical insights into plant nutrient use efficiency and ecosystem-scale carbon-nutrient interactions, particularly under global change. However, comprehensive long-term records of leaf C, N, and P concentrations remain scarce. Here we compiled and publicly released the Leaf Carbon-Nitrogen-Phosphorus Concentrations in China's Forests (CNP-China) dataset, containing 628 standardized records from 52 dominant tree species across 11 representative China's forest ecosystems from 2005 to 2020. All samples were collected and analyzed following the Chinese Ecosystem Research Network (CERN) protocols, with accompanying plot-level geographic and environmental data, species taxonomy and functional traits, and surface soil properties (0-20 cm depth). The dataset underwent rigorous quality control, including unit harmonization, error checking, and outlier detection, and is provided in accessible CSV format. CNP-China enables critical assessments of stoichiometric responses to environmental change, supports improved ecosystem modeling, and facilitates cross-biome comparisons of nutrient cycling dynamics, providing an essential foundation for understanding forest carbon-nutrient feedback under global change.
