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

Eco-evolutionary optimality (EEO) theory predicts that plants maximize resource investment in photosynthetic capacity at the lowest costs of acquiring and using such resources. However, current EEO-based models predict photosynthetic capacity based on climate alone, and omit costs for resource acquisition. To explore the link between leaf-level optimality and plant-level nitrogen acquisition costs across different soil environments, we grew two commonly co-occurring species in a greenhouse under three nutrient fertilization levels in sand and two natural soils with matching nutrient availability to the fertilization levels in sand. At the end of the experiment, we measured the maximum rate of Rubisco carboxylation (
