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

While biocrust restoration has gained relevance to combat increasing dryland soil degradation during the last decade, its scalability and ecological effectiveness remain limited because of the difficulty in producing large amounts of well-adapted, site-specific biocrust inoculum. Crustivoltaics, an approach where existing, local photovoltaic plants are used as large-scale microbial nurseries to produce biocrust inoculum, has been developed to overcome these barriers. Still, many degraded sites are in remote areas devoid of local solar farms. Here, we tested if crustivoltaics could be operated in a "
