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

Dragon fruit stands out all among fruits not only for its essential nutrients and antioxidant content but also for its aesthetic appeal. Its high demand in consumer preferences and marketing values makes it a sought-after fruit. However, its production is limited by poor agronomic practices, particularly suboptimal use of fertilizers. Therefore, this study aims to enhance dragon fruit production by improving fertilizer use efficiency, thereby increasing fruit yield without wastage of inorganic fertilizer. To achieve this objective, two dragon fruit pulp types, white and purple-red, were chosen as test crops, and a total of three independent variables with different graded levels of N:P:K combinations were utilized. Second-order rotatable design (SORD) particularly Box-Behnken design (BBD) was employed using response surface methodology (RSM) to fix the fertilizer treatment combinations, to study the yield response and optimization of fertilizer doses. The response outcomes of white pulp fruit yield per hectare (Y
