Soil evaporation and plant water use strategy of riparian forests in extremely arid deserts, northwestern China: a stable isotope perspective.

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
Introduction: In extreme arid regions, Methods: This study investigated water movement in Results: Soil evaporation exhibited consistent patterns across all stands, being most pronounced in the shallow layer (0-40 cm) and declining exponentially with depth, while the deep soil layer (>200 cm) was primarily recharged by groundwater. Although vegetation type introduced some variability in evaporation rates, these differences did not reach statistical significance. Both species primarily extracted water from the 100-300 cm soil layer and groundwater, with Discussion: To maintain the structure of desert riparian forests, ecological water conveyance must be carefully managed to sustain groundwater levels within a suitable range for vegetation. Such management would help prevent
