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

Agroforestry systems (AFS) offer valuable ecological services and multifunctionality, yet there are gaps regarding interactions between tree species (particularly native ones) and food crops in the early stages of AFS across the Congo Basin. Acacia auriculiformis (exotic), and Pentaclethra macrophylla (native) are among the tree species grown in association with food crops in the Congo Basin. However, the knowledge of the carbon storage of these systems is limited, which would encourage their adoption. This study assessed the above-ground carbon (AGC) and soil organic carbon stock (SOCS) in AFS involving A. auriculiformis and P. macrophylla intercropped with cassava, maize, and peanut food crops. Research was conducted in the Lobilo watershed using a multifactorial design with two tree species, four planting densities (T1: 2500 trees × ha
