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

Excess nitrogen (N) within the landscape can lead to environmental issues such as water pollution and downstream eutrophication. Quantification of landscape N fluxes can help identify areas of excess N and can improve our understanding of the sources, sinks, and transport of N within ecosystems. The gTREND-Nitrogen dataset provides a comprehensive, long-term (1930-2017) N mass balance for the contiguous United States at a spatial resolution of 250 meters. This dataset integrates county-scale estimates of N fluxes with gridded land use and population data to estimate grid-scale surface fluxes of N, including fertilizer, atmospheric deposition, manure inputs, biological N fixation, crop N uptake, and population-based human waste. The downscaled gTREND-Nitrogen data will allow for fine-scale insights into both historical and current N dynamics, addressing the limitations of previous datasets developed at coarser spatial scales. The data is openly available and will help to inform the development of effective policy and management strategies to mitigate the negative impacts of excess N and to promote sustainable nutrient management practices.
