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

Ecosystem services (ES) provision and variation over spatial scales in agricultural land are often the result of interactions between agricultural management and ecological structures. Our goal was to evaluate the effect of conservation agriculture (CA) and conventional tillage (CT) practices on different ES and ecosystem disservices (DES) to evaluate their spatial variability, and to develop a new index to determine the sustainability of CA and CT systems in farmers' fields. Under conservation agriculture and conventional tillage, the ecosystem services supplied by wheat-based cropping systems was measured, and the inverse distance weighted (IDW) interpolation technique was used to create maps of spatial variability. A new index, i.e., ecosystem service sustainability index (ESSI) was developed to assess the sustainability of the study area. The gain in food was higher in some parts of the Nilokheri and Taraori villages of Karnal district, where CA was practiced over the years. The gain in regulating service, i.e., SOC stock in the study area ranged between 1.99 and 5.54 Mg ha
