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

This review examines the use of herbicides across Europe's biogeographical regions, focusing on their historical development, regulatory framework, and environmental impacts. Since the 20th century, the use of herbicides has significantly increased agricultural productivity. However, the continuous use of herbicides with the same mode of action can lead to the development of resistant weeds, especially when low-diversity weed management strategies are employed. The European Union has established a strict approval process for herbicidal substances to safeguard environmental and human health. Consequently, the number of authorized active ingredients has declined due to concerns over their adverse effects. This review highlights the need for new sustainable tools for weed control and advocates reassessing Europe's dependence on chemical herbicides, encouraging integrated weed management approaches and policies that balance productivity with environmental protection for a sustainable agricultural future.
