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 effectiveness of substituting organic fertilizers for chemical fertilizers in enhancing crop yield and soil quality remains uncertain. This study conducted a two-year field experiment to investigate the effects of replacing chemical fertilizer nitrogen with organic fertilizer nitrogen at varying levels (0%, 30%, 60%, 100%) on soil nitrogen transformation and crop yield in potato and wheat cultivation. We measured soil nitrogen pools and key nitrogen-transforming enzyme activities to evaluate how various fertilization treatments affect the soil nitrogen cycling process. Results showed that replacing 60% of chemical fertilizer nitrogen with organic fertilizer (T2) significantly increased soil nitrate nitrogen content during the potato tuber expansion and wheat jointing stages. It also maintained high mineral nitrogen levels in the later growth period. Additionally, the T2 treatment significantly boosted soil urease (SU) activity by 14 - 38% and Soil alkaline protease (ALPT) activity by 9 - 22%, optimizing nitrogen transport to potato tubers and wheat grains. Compared to full chemical fertilizer treatment, T2 increased potato yield to 47.13 t·ha
