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.
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
Improving nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency while reducing nitrogen losses is a major challenge for sustainable crop production. In this study, a controlled-release inhibitor-enhanced nitrogen fertilizer (CYRF) was developed by integrating a polyurethane controlled-release membrane with a 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) nitrification-inhibitor layer. Its structural characteristics, nutrient release behavior, and nitrogen-regulating performance were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, static water incubation, soil incubation at different temperatures and field nitrogen-15 (¹⁵N) tracing. Morphological and elemental analyses confirmed that CYRF possessed a distinct multilayer structure consisting of an outer controlled-release membrane and an inner DMPP-containing inhibitor layer, providing a structural basis for the coordinated release of urea nitrogen and DMPP. Under static water incubation at 25 °C, the cumulative release of urea nitrogen increased from 0.40% at 7 d to 87.50% at 98 d, while DMPP release increased from 0.70% to 79.00% over the same period. DMPP was released slightly earlier than urea nitrogen during the 21-49 d incubation period, and their cumulative release rates were strongly positively correlated (r = 0.975, P < 0.001). Soil incubation showed that CYRF consistently enhanced ammonium nitrogen retention while suppressing nitrate nitrogen accumulation across different temperatures. Compared with the controlled-release fertilizer (CRF), CYRF increased ammonium nitrogen retention by 37.3% and reduced nitrate nitrogen accumulation by 16.4% at 15 °C. At 25 °C, CYRF reduced nitrate nitrogen accumulation by 97.0-98.7% during the 50-90 d incubation period, while at 35 °C it decreased nitrate nitrogen accumulation by 42.0%. Field ¹⁵N tracing further showed that, compared with CRF(
