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

Tile drains enhance crop productivity but also increase phosphorus (P) runoff into nearby water bodies, contributing to harmful algal blooms. This study examines the effectiveness of designer biochar pellets (DBPs) in removing or releasing P from agricultural effluents, soils, or deionized water, respectively. The DBPs are composed of pine sawdust biomass and bentonite clay, pretreated with lime sludge prior to pyrolysis, and subsequently exposed to various wastewater effluents and field conditions. DBP treatment in P removal varied across effluent types, ranging from 18 to 155 mg kg
