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
Green manure application is widely used to improve soil quality in saline-alkaline soils, yet the combined effects of green manure species and return methods on soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization and field SOC retention remain poorly understood. A field experiment was conducted in coastal saline soil of Jiangsu Province with five treatments: no green manure (CK), alfalfa mulching (AM), alfalfa incorporation (AF), ryegrass mulching (RM), and ryegrass incorporation (RF). A 60-day laboratory incubation was performed to assess SOC mineralization dynamics, apparent priming effects, labile carbon fractions and soil enzyme activities. Our results showed that compared with CK, green manure incorporation significantly increased SOC mineralization and induced positive priming effects. Alfalfa showed higher mineralization rates and stronger priming effects (peaking at day 5, 403.67-551.61%) than ryegrass which peaked at day 21 (395.02-432.50%). After 60 days of incubation, SOC increased by 0.34-0.54 mg·g
