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

Deep soil moisture constitutes a critical component of hydrological processes in the Loess Plateau, playing an essential role in sustaining vegetation growth, maintaining ecosystem stability, and serving as an important indicator of regional water resource carrying capacity. However, the mechanisms by which long-term vegetation restoration influences deep soil moisture remain insufficiently understood. In this study, we selected two typical paired small watersheds-an Artificial forest watershed and a Farmland watershed-located in the Caijiachuan watershed in the hilly-gully region of the Loess Plateau in western Shanxi Province, China.
