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

Soil aeration plays a critical role in regulating root development and soil nutrient dynamics, which are essential for optimizing tomato fruit yield. However, the mechanisms underpinning how different soil aeration techniques influence root characteristics and soil nitrogen cycling remain underexplored. This study aims to evaluate the effects of micro-nano bubble aeration and underground air layer treatments on soil oxygen concentration, root morphology, nitrogen cycling, and ultimately tomato fruit yield. A two-season field experiment was conducted in Xi'an, China. Micro-nano bubble aeration treatments were applied before irrigation with dissolved oxygen levels set at 6.5 mg/L (N1) and 8.0 mg/L (N2). Additionally, underground air layer treatments were implemented without vertical pipes (L1) and with vertical pipes (L2). Measurements included soil pore O
