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

Climate change induced water scarcity poses a critical challenge to sustainable crop production and an escalating threat to food security, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions Adjusting sowing dates in combination with deficit irrigation to enhance water productivity is a successful adaptation strategy to mitigate the effects of water scarcity on crop production. However, limited information is available on the interactive effects of sowing timing and irrigation levels on roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) under arid and semi-arid conditions. In this context, a field experiment was conducted during 2021 and 2022 seasons at the AL-Busili Experimental Farm of the Central Laboratory for Agricultural Climate, Agricultural Research Center in Egypt, to assess the effects of three sowing dates (T1: May 19, T2: June 19, and T3: July 19) and three irrigation regimes (I1: 100%, I2: 75%, and I3: 50% of crop evapotranspiration "ETc") on growth performance, yield and water productivity of roselle. The treatments were arranged in a split-plot design with three replications. The results indicated that sowing on June 19 (T2) under full irrigation (100% ETc) significantly increased plant height (253.17 cm), branch number (25.74 plant
