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

backgroundEriochloa villosa is a destructive pernicious weed threatening maize production in Northeast China. While species distribution models (SDMs) identify potential habitats, they often overestimate risk areas, leading to inefficient resource allocation. Bridging the gap between macro-scale prediction and field-level management remains a critical challenge for precision agriculture.

resultsWe developed an integrated risk navigation framework combining a stacked ensemble SDM (AUC = 0.932) with field-verified economic parameters. Through controlled field experiments, we established a management-oriented economic threshold (ET) of 6.2 plants/m

conclusionThe proposed framework concentrates management efforts on high-impact zones, drastically reducing the priority management footprint and optimizing resource allocation compared to conventional strategies. By explicitly incorporating prediction uncertainty, this study provides a highly efficient, scientifically robust decision support tool for pernicious weed management and pesticide reduction in maize systems. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
