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

Assessing and mapping spatial distribution variability of soil reaction (alkalinity and acidity denoted as soil pH) and electrical conductivity (EC) in cultivated areas is crucial for degradation monitoring, precision soil fertility management, and sustainable crop production. The distribution of soil reaction and EC is affected by several factors together with elevation (E), temperature and rainfall. We assessed spatial distribution variability of soil reaction and EC in cultivated areas of 29 states of India, and evaluated the relationship of soil pH and EC with E, average annual maximum temperature (AAMT), and average annual rainfall (AAR). Altogether, 237,496 georeferenced and representative surface (depth of 0 to15 cm depth) soil samples were collected, and processed. Subsequently, processed soil samples were analyzed for soil pH and EC. Soil pH varied from 2.80 to 10.2 (mean ± SD 6.98 ± 1.16) with coefficient of variation of 16.64%. Whereas, EC values ranged from 0.01 to 7.75 dS m
