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

As the largest carbon reservoir in terrestrial ecosystems, soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a critical role in the global carbon cycle and climate change mitigation. A promising approach to swiftly procuring geographically dispersed SOC data is the amalgamation of UAV-based multispectral imagery at the local scale and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery at the regional scale. This integrated approach is particularly well-suited for precision agriculture and real-time monitoring. In this study, we evaluated the performance of UAVs and Sentinel-2 imagery in predicting SOC using four machine-learning models: Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Support Vector Regression (SVR), Random Forest (RF), and Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). UAV imagery outperformed Sentinel-2, achieving more accurate detection of local SOC variability thanks to its finer spatial resolution (5-10 cm versus 10-20 m). Among the models tested, the Random Forest algorithm achieved the highest accuracy, with an R
