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
Introduction: Soil salinity severely constrains crop productivity in coastal agricultural regions by impairing soil water availability, nutrient acquisition, and root-zone conditions. Straw-based soil management practices have been widely proposed for saline soil improvement, but their comparative effectiveness and underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Methods: A two-year container experiment with barley ( Results: The results showed that the three straw management practices improved soil-crop performance through distinct pathways. SM exhibited the strongest capacity for regulating soil water and salt dynamics, increasing soil moisture content by 84.9% compared with CT at the heading stage in 2024 and maintaining positive salt migration index values throughout the growing season. Consequently, SM produced the highest grain yield in both years, reaching 6581.95 and 7532.59 kg·ha Discussion: Overall, surface straw mulching was the most effective strategy for simultaneously improving soil water conservation, salt regulation, and barley productivity, whereas biochar incorporation provided greater benefits for soil fertility improvement. These findings highlight the importance of matching straw management strategies with specific soil constraints to enhance crop production in coastal saline agroecosystems.
