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

To address the bottleneck problem of slow decomposition of returned maize straw under low-temperature constraints in the cold and arid regions of northern China, this study systematically explored the microbial decomposition-promoting mechanism of microbial inoculant M44 combined with three straw returning methods: deep plowing (DPR), deep scarification and mixing (SSR), and no-tillage mulching (NTR), by integrating field tillage and in-situ micro-zone degradation experiments. The results showed that different straw returning methods combined with inoculant M44 could effectively overcome low-temperature limitations, significantly increasing the straw degradation rate by 2.33-9.81 percentage points and shortening the half-life by 20.7-62.8 d. The core mechanism was that the "tillage-inoculant" interaction regulated the soil microenvironment, directionally shaped and enriched key functional microbial taxa with degradation ability (such as
