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

Water scarcity is one of the main constraints on maize production in semiarid regions, making it essential to adopt management strategies that reconcile water savings, crop resilience, and economic viability. This study evaluated the effects of deficit irrigation strategies integrated with the use of bioinputs on physiological, productive, and economic parameters of maize grown under field conditions in the Brazilian semiarid region over two growing seasons (2023 and 2024). The experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with a split-plot arrangement. Irrigation strategies comprised full irrigation (FI; 100% of crop water requirements), continuous deficit irrigation (RD50%; 50% throughout the crop cycle), and stage-specific controlled deficit irrigation (50%) imposed during the vegetative (CDV50%), flowering/grain formation (CDF50%), and grain-filling (CDG50%) stages, while seed treatments involved inoculation with
