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

In the context of the circular economy, managing sewage sludge (SS) is vital for resource valorization and sustainability. This study aims to compare the impact of different application methods (two phase mulch, single phase mulch, incorporation) and doses (10, 25, 40 and 50 t/ha) of residual sewage sludge on the quality of sandy-silty soils and the morpho-physiological characteristics of durum wheat (Triticum durum) plants, specifically the Oued El Bared G4 variety. The field experiment was conducted in a hot arid region in northeastern Algeria. Results demonstrated that SS significantly improved soil fertility and wheat performance (p < 0.001). Soil organic matter (OM) and Phosphorus peaked at 1.92% (T2D3) and 258.46 ppm (T1D4) respectively, representing a substantial enrichment compared to lower doses. Regarding crop yield, the 1000 grain weight (WTG) reached a maximum of 54.88 g with single phase mulch (T2D1), which is 33.8% higher than the two phase application method. Similarly, plant height and leaf surface area (LSA) were maximized under the T2 method (91 cm and 37.41 cm
