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

Plant litter, as a critical link between plants and soil, significantly influences seed germination and seedling growth by releasing chemicals during decomposition. While previous research on allelopathy has predominantly focused on living plants, the allelopathic effects of plant litter remain poorly understood. This study investigated the allelopathic effects of litter from dominant plant species on seed germination and seedling growth in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. We evaluated five concentrations of litter leachate (0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, and 10.0%) and four litter mass gradients (0, 100, 200, and 400 g m⁻
