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

Arid rangelands in Saudi Arabia face major management challenges due to pronounced seasonal variability and landform-related differences in vegetation productivity, necessitating science-based grazing strategies. However, the combined effects of these factors on plant biomass and livestock carrying capacity remain poorly quantified. To address this gap, this study investigated the individual and interactive effects of season and landform on vegetation productivity and livestock carrying capacity at Bisha-1 rangeland across four survey seasons (Autumn 2023, Spring 2024, Autumn 2024, and Spring 2025) and two landforms (valleys and plains). Highly significant differences were recorded among seasons in total palatable biomass (
