Vegetation water use efficiency constrains the dynamic of net primary productivity in Mu Us Sandy Land.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The Mu Us Sandy Land (MUSL) in Northwest China, once one of the world's most severely desertification areas, is now a leading example of successful ecological restoration. Undoubtedly, ecological restoration efforts have significantly reversed this region's desertification and enhanced carbon sequestration. However, uncertainties remain regarding whether ongoing and expanded restoration initiatives can continue to stabilize or further enhance the productivity and carbon sequestration capacity of the region's ecosystems. Net primary productivity (NPP) as an important indicator for evaluating ecosystem function and sustainability. Analyzing its spatial-temporal evolves differences and driving mechanisms is crucial for formulating effective ecological restoration policies. Given this, this study applied the Breaks for Additive Season and Trend (BFAST) method to diagnose the NPP's spatiotemporal dynamics and development patterns in the MUSL from 2001 to 2020. The results revealed significant temporal-spatial variations in NPP, identifying eight development patterns (Type1-8). Among these, three increasing trends patterns-Type1, Type3, and Type5-were dominant, driven by rising regional precipitation and temperature, accounting for 82.9% of the total areas. In contrast, in the southern area with more favorable hydrothermal conditions, Type7 (from increase to decrease) was dominated, accounting for 16.4%. NPP in this region initially increased from 52 gC·m
