Regulatory effects of row spacing on plant-soil feedbacks in an oat-forage pea intercropping system: a two-year, dual-location study.

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
This study aimed to clarify the effects of row spacing on forage yield, quality, and soil function in an oat-forage pea intercropping system in the high-altitude Qinghai-Tibet region. A two-year, multi-site field experiment was conducted in Hainan and Haixi Prefectures, in which DTOPSIS and structural equation modeling (SEM) were integrated to evaluate multiple objectives. The results indicated that the optimal row spacing differed between sites. In Hainan, a row spacing of 30 cm maximized forage yield (11,507.94 kg·ha− 1), representing a 12% increase compared with 25 cm spacing, although the soil quality index (SQI) declined by 9.67%. In Haixi, a 25 cm spacing enhanced forage yield (6,905.98 kg·ha− 1) and maintained a higher SQI than wider spacings. SEM analysis identified site-specific pathways linking row spacing, forage productivity, and soil function, and emphasized the presence of negative feedback mechanisms in nutrient-limited or arid environments. The findings suggest that optimal row spacing is region-specific, balancing trade-offs among yield, forage quality, and soil sustainability, and providing mechanistic insights for precision spatial management of alpine intercropping systems.
