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

Optimizing nitrogen (N) management is essential for improving grain yield, quality, and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in low-gluten wheat, yet the optimal fertilizer strategy remains unclear. A two-year field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of common urea (CU), controlled-release urea (CRU), and their combination on yield, quality, NUE, and soil N content in low-gluten wheat. The results showed that, compared with 100% common urea (CU100), 100% controlled-release urea (CRU100) increased grain yield by 8.51% in 2023 and 14.3% in 2024, while 80% controlled-release urea and 20% common urea (CRU80CU20) increased grain yield by 19.2% in 2023 and 23.3% in 2024. These increases were accompanied by enhanced grain number per spike and dry matter accumulation. CRU-based treatments improved NUE, with the highest NUE observed in the CRU80CU20 treatment. Compared with CU100, CRU80CU20 significantly decreased grain protein content while maintaining high grain yield. Path analysis indicated that CRU was positively associated with dry matter accumulation, which in turn was positively associated with grain yield, whereas N translocation was closely associated with grain protein-related quality. In conclusion, CRU80CU20 provided a favorable combination of high grain yield, high NUE, and lower grain protein content, indicating that it is a promising N management strategy for the production of low-gluten wheat.
