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
Saline water irrigation increasingly threatens agricultural productivity and food security, particularly in arid regions with limited freshwater availability. Improving soil management through green waste compost represents a sustainable approach to enhance soil health, reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers, and stimulate crop growth. This study evaluated the effects of three compost doses (15, 20, and 30 t ha⁻1) on soil physicochemical properties, plant growth, and yield components of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf., cv. Faraj) under four levels of saline irrigation (0.2, 8, 12, and 16 dS m⁻1) using a completely randomized design (CRD) in a greenhouse during the 2023–2024 growing season. Saline irrigation significantly increased soil electrical conductivity and sodium accumulation, while soil pH and organic matter content decreased by 13.45% and 28.57%, respectively. Compost application improved soil fertility, particularly by increasing potassium and calcium availability; at 8 dS m⁻1, potassium and calcium contents increased by 23.25% and 16.7%, respectively. Compost significantly enhanced plant growth under saline conditions, with increases of 10–48% in plant height, 18–40% in leaf number, and 9–19% in chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) compared with the untreated control. Grain yield increased by 11.25% at 8 dS m⁻1 and by 31.58% at 12 dS m⁻1 under the highest compost dose, while straw yield, spike length, and awn length were also improved. Overall, the findings suggest that green waste compost application represents an effective strategy to improve soil quality, sustain durum wheat growth, and partially mitigate salinity stress, particularly under moderate saline irrigation conditions.
