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.
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
Introduction: The discrepancies in near-soil-surface hydrologic processes triggered by herbage spatial distribution pattern greatly influence the variation in hillslope erosion process. However, knowledge about the influence of herbage spatial distribution pattern on hillslope erosion is still limited. Methods: In the current study, runoff plots (length × width × depth, 2 × 1 × 0.5 m) with slope gradient of 8.75%-36.40% and a side-spray rainfall simulator with rainfall intensity of 90 mm h Results: The results indicated that the initial runoff generation time followed the order of CK, US, MS, LS, and SS. Compared with CK, the mean runoff rate and sediment yield rate for alfalfa-covered hillslopes decreased by 7.18% to 83.77% and 12.62% to 85.69%, and sediment concentration decreased by 0.26 to 2.22 g L Discussion: As the results of shielding and protection effect of alfalfa, initial runoff generation time was delayed, infiltration rate was enhanced, and runoff and sediment yield rates were reduced; thus, soil loss was lowered on alfalfa-covered hillslopes. The research provided scientific reference for understanding the anti-erosion of herbage spatial distribution pattern and theoretical guidance for formulating soil and water conservation planning.
