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

Iron oxides protect soil organic carbon (SOC) over the long term, but the effects of saline-alkali soil amendments on iron-bound organic carbon (Fe-OC) remain unclear. Using data from Northeast China, this study examined the effects of desulfurized gypsum and polyaspartic acid calcium (PASP-Ca) on Fe-OC. Compared to the control, Fe-OC increased by 2.7 times with desulfurized gypsum and 3.9 times with PASP-Ca. Both amendments shifted the association of Fe-OC from adsorption to co-precipitation, thereby enhancing the formation and stability of Fe-OC and consequently promoting SOC sequestration. Both measures also facilitated the transformation of free iron minerals into complexed forms, reducing microbial carbon binding while maintaining the pattern of preferential binding of iron minerals with aromatic-C. Key factors driving these changes include improved soil nutrients, water content, and microorganisms, along with reduced soil pH. This study offers valuable insights into the effects of saline-alkali soil amendments on Fe-OC and SOC stabilization.
