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

Optimizing nitrogen (N) fertilization is essential for sustaining durum wheat yield and grain quality while reducing the environmental impacts associated with N over-application. Hyperspectral sensing provides a rapid and non-destructive approach for monitoring crop N status. However, high-dimensional data, phenology-dependent spectral responses, and spatial autocorrelation in field measurements limit robust nitrogen classification and interpretation. This study evaluated hyperspectral-based nitrogen status classification in durum wheat under Mediterranean field conditions and identified key spectral regions using explainable artificial intelligence. A field experiment was conducted in Southern Italy using ten N fertilization rates (0-180 kg N ha
