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

Ethiopia's soils are losing essential nutrients and organic matter, causing a drop in agricultural output. This experiment was therefore conducted to evaluate the effect of combining mineral nitrogen (N) and vermicompost (VC) on bread wheat yield and soil physicochemical properties in the Lasta district. During the 2023 cropping season, the trial employed a factorial design with varying levels of N (0%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of recommended) and VC (0%, 50%, and 100% equivalent to N) on a farmer's field. The soil samples were analyzed before and after treatment, and the data were analyzed using R software. The results indicated that the total N (TN) (0.131 ± 0.01%) and available phosphorus (Av. P) (22.97 ± 0.05) were recorded from 100% VC, the highest organic carbon (OC) (1.79 ± 0.01%) and CEC (36.8 ± 1.0 cmol+/kg) of the soil were recorded for the combined N and VC application, whereas the lowest TN (0.107 ± 0.01%) Av. P (19.17 ± 0.21), OC (1.05 ± 0.01) and CEC (23.37 ± 1.26) were recorded from the control. The highest grain (3955.33 ± 49.22 kg ha
