Comprehensive analysis of grazing intensity impacts on different types of grassland in Xinjiang, China: a meta-analysis.

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
Grazing is the primary use of grassland in Xinjiang and plays a key role in the grassland ecosystem. Grazing intensity has a profound impact on the healthy development of grassland. To date, we lack a comprehensive understanding of the overall response of the main types of grassland in Xinjiang to different intensities of grazing. Based on 73 peer-reviewed studies, we conducted a meta-analysis of the response of soil properties and community vegetation characteristics to grazing intensity in five main types of grassland in Xinjiang. The results showed the following: (1) Grazing reduced the soil total carbon (TC) and total potassium (TK) of grassland soil in Xinjiang and increased the content of available phosphorus (AP) in soil. Moderate grazing reduced the soil TC and increased the total nitrogen (TN). Heavy grazing significantly reduced soil organic carbon (SOC) and density (
