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

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different nitrogen sources on sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) growth, yield, and physiological parameters to identify optimal fertilization strategies for maximizing production. Sesame is a valuable seed plant known for its oil, protein, and antioxidant content. A two-season field experiment (2021 and 2022) was conducted to investigate the impact of eight nitrogen sources, applied at 126 kg N/ha, including two organic sources (urea and thiourea), four nitrate salts (sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium nitrates), and two ammonium salts (sulfate and citrate). The experiment followed a completely randomized block design with three replicates. Among the nitrogen sources, urea exhibited superior performance in promoting vegetative growth, nitrogenous compounds, and seed yield. K nitrate emerged as the leading source for enhancing K
