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

Winter wheat production in the extremely arid oasis region of Xinjiang relies heavily on irrigation and fertilization, but conventional high-input management can induce luxury transpiration and non-productive water consumption, limiting the coordinated improvement of grain yield, water use efficiency (WUE), and economic benefits. To identify the threshold at which water-fertilizer inputs shift from efficient use to inefficient water consumption and to define a robust management range, a two-year field experiment was conducted in southern Xinjiang during the 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 growing seasons. Four irrigation levels, corresponding to 60%, 80%, 100%, and 120% of crop evapotranspiration (
