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

Pasture-based dairy systems have expanded in regions with suitable climates, often driven by consumer demand for perceived environmental, animal welfare, and nutritional advantages. Expansion and intensification of such systems have increased nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) losses to water, contributing to eutrophication and groundwater contamination. To support sustainable milk production and reduce environmental impact, it is necessary to understand the transport pathways of nutrient losses and the actions that will mitigate the same. Nutrient losses arise from interactions between sources, mainly animal excreta, imported feed and fertilizer, soil, and pasture, and transport pathways such as runoff (surface or near surface in tile drainage) and leaching. Whereas urine patches dominate N loss in pasture-based systems, through nitrate (NO
