Nitrogen threshold under straw returning: optimizing nitrogen application to synergize the yield and nutritional stoichiometry of maize.

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: Straw returning has the potential to reduce nitrogen (N) input by enhancing soil fertility; however, the optimal N application rate may vary under different crop residue management practices. Methods: Based on a long-term field experiment initiated in 2011, this study investigated the effects of two residue management methods, namely, no tillage with straw mulch (SM, full straw return) and plow tillage incorporating straw mulch to a depth of approximately 15 cm (SP, full straw return), in combination with five nitrogen application rates (0, 90, 150, 210, and 270 kg ha Results: The results indicated that the 1000-kernel weight and kernel number under SP were 7.09% and 6.26% higher than those under SM, respectively, resulting in a 9.24% higher yield in SP. Furthermore, PFPN was significantly greater under SP, by 13.88% compared with SM. This difference was more evident when the N application rate was below 150 kg ha Discussion: In conclusion, SP demonstrated greater potential for N fertilizer savings while achieving high grain yield and superior nutritional quality. The optimal N application rates were 113.82-129.53 kg ha
