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

Intercropping enhances resource utilization and productivity through interspecific complementarity; however, its potential in arid-region film-edge cultivation, especially microbial-environmental interactions, remains underexplored. A two-year field experiment was conducted in film-edge cultivation in northern Shaanxi, comparing maize monoculture (CJCJ), soybean monoculture (SJSJ), and four maize-soybean intercropping patterns-2C2S, 2C4S, 4C2S, and 4C4S-to investigate how these configurations affect soil bacterial community composition and crop productivity. Results showed that the 4C2S and 2C4S patterns improved soil moisture dynamics, enzyme activities, and microbial community structure. Compared with monocropping, intercropping increased soil moisture in both crop zones, with differential regulation. In 2022, all intercropping treatments significantly increased maize rhizospheric urease, alkaline phosphatase, and sucrase activities (
