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 compares the adaptive response of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) and thyme (Thymus vulgaris) to the combined effects of irrigation regimes and phosphorus (P) levels on morphological, physiological, and biochemical stress indicators, nutrient uptake, and essential oil yield. Both species were subjected to well-watered regime (80% field capacity, I1), moderate drought (50% FC, I2), and severe drought (30% FC, I3). Three P levels were applied for rosemary (10, 25, and 50 kg/ha as P1, P2, and P3) and thyme (10, 20, and 40 kg/ha as P1, P2, and P3), under greenhouse conditions. Rosemary employed a flexible growth strategy. It reallocated resources between shoots and roots depending on the levels of irrigation and P. Under I3, shoot biomass declined by 41%, but root elongation increased, especially in I3P3. Phosphorus improved leaf area index (LAI) and chlorophyll pigments, but its effect was constrained under I3. Chlorophyll a dropped to 0.5-1.0 mg g⁻
