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

To address soil degradation from long-term monoculture, rotary tillage, and excessive chemical fertilization in semi-arid regions of China, we conducted a three-year field experiment. We assessed the synergy of integrated management practices combined with both continuous and rotational tillage methods (including ploughing, rotary, moldboard ploughing) at varying tillage depths (10-15, 15-25, 25-35 cm) with different fertilization regimes (chemical vs. organic-inorganic). Among all treatments, the rotational tillage practice that integrates moldboard ploughing at 25-35 cm depth with organic-inorganic fertilization [1200 kg ha
