Dynamics of Vegetation and Soil in Long-Term Artificial Sand Control Projects in the Ulan Buh Desert.

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
Desertification is a severe ecological problem worldwide under global change. China has devoted extensive and effective efforts to desertification prevention and sand control. However, the long-term effectiveness of artificial sand control, particularly its impact on vegetation and soil evolution, remains understudied. To clarify the effect of different years of restoration on plant community characteristics and soil properties, and the overall succession trend of vegetation and soil during long-term restoration, this study carried out a field investigation in the straw checkerboard barriers under different years of restoration (0 year: unrestored stage; 1, 5 years: initial stage; 10, 15 years: late stage) in the Ulan Buh Desert. Comprehensive evaluation models were used to quantify vegetation and soil improvement under restoration efforts, and a vegetation-soil coupling coordination degree model was employed to explore their coordination level over different restoration periods. Results showed significant differences in plant species diversity among restoration years (
