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
Water management in irrigation networks is crucial for sustainable agriculture under conditions of water scarcity and climate variability. This study applies the water accounting plus (WA+) framework, integrating meteorological and remote sensing data (WaPOR), to analyze water fluxes, productivity, and spatial heterogeneity in the Qazvin Plain irrigation network from 2009 to 2021. The total net inflow during this period was approximately 10,582 MCM, with contributions from precipitation (≈ 20%), surface inflow (≈ 27%), and storage changes (≈ 53%). Analysis of evapotranspiration revealed that transpiration accounted for 80% of total ET, with 72% classified as beneficial (transpiration plus interception) and 28% as non-beneficial (soil evaporation and canopy interception). Spatial patterns indicate higher water availability in the eastern part of the network and deficits in the western region, highlighting the potential for improving water productivity through targeted interventions such as soil moisture conservation and optimized irrigation scheduling. These findings demonstrate the applicability of the WA + framework for enhancing water use efficiency and informing sustainable irrigation management in semi-arid regions.
