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

backgroundPrecipitation is a limiting factor for various system functions in desert steppe ecosystems, and its impacts on aboveground and belowground processes may diverge. To evaluate these differences, for five years, we conducted field experiments to examine the effects of four different precipitation treatments [natural precipitation (W

conclusionsThe asymmetric precipitation response of desert steppes highlights the critical need to determine belowground stability thresholds for sustainable ecosystem management under climate extremes.
