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
Introduction: Legume cover is a widely used and useful soil management strategy in orchards across the world. However, it remains unclear how the alfalfa cover affects vegetation and soil carbon storage, soil greenhouse gas fluxes, and global warming potential in Methods: This study determined vegetation and soil carbon storage, soil greenhouse gas fluxes, and global warming potential under legume cover and non-cropping cover and explored the potential drivers on a karst steep slope. Results: The results showed that cropping cover under Discussion: Alfalfa cover is recommended for improved understory vegetation aboveground and vegetation root biomass carbon storage, soil physicochemical properties, and soil microbial community stability and network stability, whereas it may not be recommended due to increased soil CO₂ flux and global warming potential, as well as reduced soil inorganic carbon storage. This study first demonstrated the trade-off between understory vegetation aboveground and vegetation root biomass carbon storage and soil inorganic carbon storage, and this trade-off should be carefully considered when conducting multi-storage management.
