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

Introduction: The inclusion of plant-parasitic nematode ( Methods: A 2-year field study was conducted at the University of Limpopo and the Agricultural Research Council to investigate the effects of potato monoculture, Results: Based on the results, nematode indices revealed disturbed agroecosystems dominated with bacterial decomposition pathways, which is a common occurrence in intensively managed soils. High soil organic carbon content, microbial diversity and enzyme activity were observed in sorghum-potato and Discussion: Crop diversification increased soil organic carbon content, microbial diversity and enzyme activity. Overall, sorghum-potato effectively improved soil health and soil structure over time, better than the other cropping systems.
