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

Enset-based farming systems are promoted as a sustainable land management strategy in Ethiopia, yet comprehensive evidence of their contribution to soil fertility remains limited. This study assessed the role of three Enset-based farming systems (Enset-dominated, Enset-coffee, and Enset-coffee-fruit based farming) in improving soil fertility compared to adjacent croplands in central Ethiopia. A total of 60 composite soil samples were collected from 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm soil depths across 30 paired plots. Standard laboratory methods were used to analyze soil physicochemical properties, and soil organic carbon stocks were calculated. Statistical analyses included one-way ANOVA, Fisher's LSD post-hoc test, and paired t-tests. Results showed that Enset-based systems had significantly higher (p < 0.05) soil organic matter, total nitrogen, and exchangeable bases (Ca
