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

The dynamic changes and differential responses of roots - an important research hotspot in belowground ecology-are one of the most fascinating yet elusive focuses in terrestrial ecology. We conducted a two-year field experiment in a temperate saline-alkaline grassland soil of northern China to generalize the effects of mowing intensity on root production, mortality, standing crop, turnover, and lifespan. Four mowing intensities were established, including no mowing, light mowing, moderate mowing, and heavy mowing. Fine root dynamics were monitored
