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

Nitrogen and potassium fertilization played a central role in promoting the growth of wheat. A three-year (2022-2024) split-plot field experiment was conducted to investigate the impacts of combining controlled-release urea (CRU) with controlled-release potassium chloride (CRK) on nutrient leaching and use efficiency in wheat fields. In this study, the control plot received neither nitrogen nor potassium applications (Control). The main plots were designated based on nitrogen fertilizer types, including controlled-release urea (CRU) and conventional urea (Urea). The sub-plots were assigned potassium fertilizer rates using CRK, specifically 50 kg ha-1 (LCRK), 75 kg ha-1 (MCRK), and 100 kg ha-1 (HCRK). The wheat yields in CRU treatments witnessed a modest average increase of 2.2% from 2022 to 2024 compared to ordinary urea treatments. In the final season, nitrogen recovery efficiency augmented by 10.9%. Furthermore, CRU treatments boosted the number of wheat spikes and grains per spike but had no notable influence on the thousand-grain weight (TGW) of wheat. Consequently, the yield enhancement observed in CRU treatments was primarily attributed to an increase in tiller count of wheat. The application of CRU×MCRK modestly improved wheat leaf photosynthesis during its mid to late growth stages, nutrient use efficiency and potential environmental benefits.
