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
Boosting rice (Oryza sativa) yield under organic farming remains challenging, particularly due to nitrogen (N) limitations that hinder primary productivity. This study assessed the effects of cow urine combined with biochar-compost on the growth and yield of three indigenous aromatic rice cultivars (Kalizera, Chinigura, and Shhakharkhora). Five organic amendment treatments were tested: compost, cow urine, compost + cow urine, biochar-compost, and biochar-compost + cow urine. Chinigura showed the highest grain yield (3.13 t/ha), which increased significantly to 4.03 t/ha under the compost + cow urine treatment. The addition of cow urine to biochar-compost enhanced N availability in both soil and plant tissues. Principal component analysis (PCA) revealed strong positive correlations between grain yield and nutrient concentrations. These findings suggest that integrating N-rich organic inputs-particularly cow urine-with compost can improve the performance of local aromatic rice cultivars and enhance nutrient availability in organic systems.
