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

In arid and semi-arid regions, the cultivation of artificial grasslands commonly suffers from low productivity due to insufficient water supply. The rational application of water-retaining agents is an important approach to alleviating production constraints in artificial grasslands facing resource-based water scarcity. This study investigated two types of water-retaining agents [starch-grafted acrylate water-retaining agent (B1) and polyacrylamide water-retaining agent (B2)] and four application rates [0 kg·hm
