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

Sandy soils are widely distributed in Egypt and are characterized by poor physical properties and a limited capacity to retain irrigation water and nutrients, which severely constrains agricultural productivity. Addressing these limitations has become increasingly critical to ensure sustainable crop production under arid and semi-arid conditions. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of biochar as a soil amendment for improving growth performance, yield, nutrient accumulation, photosynthetic pigments, and essential oil production of Mentha spicata cultivated under sandy soil conditions over two successive seasons (2024-2025). The field experiment consisted of four treatments: untreated control, NPK at 5 g L
