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

Rotational cover cropping is a key practice in conservation agriculture. To investigate the effects of maize-crop rotation with cover crops combined with nitrogen management on maize yield, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and related traits, a field experiment was conducted from 2023 to 2025. The experiment employed a split-plot design. The main plots consisted of three cropping systems: continuous maize (Fumin 985') monoculture (CK), maize rotated with rapeseed (CC-Ra), and maize rotated with rye (CC-Ry). The subplots comprised five nitrogen (N) fertilizer application rates (0, 75, 150, 225, and 300 kg ha
