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

backgroundThe present study aimed to determine the water requirements and natural resource use efficiency of protein-rich species under semi-arid conditions. A field experiment was conducted from October 2020 to February 2023 with five species (alfafa, gliricidia, leucaena, moringa, and pigeon pea) in a randomised block design, with four replications. Data were obtained from productivity (Y

resultsGliricidia showed the lowest average daily ETc (~4.0 mm day

conclusionIn general, gliricidia is recommended in semi-arid production systems for higher productivity, efficient resource use, and lower water demand, while in agroecosystems that require a continuous supply of forage, alfalfa is recommended. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
