Accounting for legacy nitrogen stores does not improve the accuracy of riverine nitrate load model predictions.

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
Legacy stores of nitrogen (N) have been proposed as an explanation for time lags between implementation of nutrient management practices and discernable declines in riverine N loads, particularly in agricultural watersheds. Process models that treat the environment as being divided into linked homogeneous pools or compartments have been used recently to estimate legacy N stores and infer time lags. However, questions have been raised regarding equifinality, i.e. the idea that acceptable estimates might be obtained using models with different structures and/or sets of parameters, creating uncertainty in model interpretation. To further advance understanding of legacy stores and lags in watershed N delivery, we developed six fate and transport models that vary in simplicity and physicochemical detail. Using published annual N surplus and riverine N load datasets, we calibrated the models to minimize summed squared errors compared with multidecadal NO
