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

Agricultural management practices such as conservation tillage is promoted in the U.S. Midwest for improving soil health, mitigating nutrient loss, and reducing hypoxia in the Gulf of America (GOA). However, large-scale evaluations of tillage impact on soil organic carbon (SOC), water quality, and the implications for hypoxia in the Gulf are lacking. By combining a meta-analysis of field experiments with watershed modelling, this study finds that by 2050, no-till (NT) farming could enhance SOC by ~5.4 MgC ha
