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

This study investigated how different organic fertilization practices affect productivity, stability, and nitrogen use efficiency in the rotation systems of the Hetao Irrigation District. The research was based on a long-term field experiment (2015-2025), with a chemical fertilizer-only treatment as the control (CK). Four organic fertilization treatments were evaluated: farmyard manure application (CM), straw incorporation (CS), green manure cultivation and incorporation (CG), and a combined green manure plus straw treatment (CGS). Based on three consecutive years of observations (2023-2025), the impacts of these treatments on crop yield, yield composition and stability, plant nitrogen accumulation and allocation, and nitrogen use efficiency were systematically analyzed. Both CM and CS significantly increased maize equivalent yield (MEY) compared with the other treatments, by 33.68-66.04% and 16.05-24.21%, respectively. CM's productivity advantage was primarily driven by higher biomass accumulation, whereas CS's advantage was largely due to improvements in the harvest index. In terms of stability, CM exhibited the lowest coefficient of variation (CV), indicating the highest static stability, while CS showed a regression coefficient (
