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
We present a novel and cost-effective whole-greenhouse static chamber method for quantifying nighttime ecosystem respiration (carbon dioxide emissions in the dark) and nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in greenhouse cultivation systems. This method leverages routine nighttime sealing practices-such as closing vents and deploying thermal quilts-to create an enclosed environment for gas accumulation. Gas concentrations can be monitored either automatically using in situ sensors or manually via gas-tight sampling bags. In both approaches, linear regression of gas concentration versus time yields robust accumulation rates, which are then converted into fluxes based on greenhouse volume and temperature. Validation using a high-precision Picarro analyzer demonstrated strong linearity (R² > 0.95) in carbon dioxide (CO₂) and N₂O accumulation curves across 15 greenhouses, confirming the method's reliability. As both approaches produce comparable results, we recommend manual sampling for its simplicity and cost-efficiency. The method integrates emissions from soil, plants, and other surfaces, overcoming spatial limitations of small chambers. With minimal equipment and labor requirements-especially when using manual sampling-it offers a practical solution for routine monitoring of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in controlled-environment agriculture.•Allows for whole-ecosystem CO₂ and N₂O flux estimation using manual sampling and gas chromatography.•Demonstrates strong agreement with continuous online measurements in multi-site validation.•Provides a low-cost, scalable solution for GHG quantification in protected cropping systems.
