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

Weed management is a critical factor influencing returns yield and economic returns of dill (Anethum graveolens L.). A field experiment was conducted during the rabi seasons of 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 at MPUA&T, Udaipur, Rajasthan, to evaluate the efficacy of various weed control strategies in dill cultivation. The study, laid out in a randomized block design with three replications, comprised thirteen weed control treatments, including pre and post emergence herbicides and integrated approaches. The application of oxadiargyl at 75 g/ha as a pre-emergence herbicide, followed by hand weeding at 40 days after sowing (DAS), resulted in the highest weed control efficiency (96.42% at 60 DAS) and significantly reduced weed density and biomass. This treatment improved growth attributes such as plant height, dry matter accumulation, and branches per plant, leading to a 61.58% increase in seed yield (7.66 q/ha) compared to the weedy check (4.74 q/ha). Economic analysis revealed that this integrated approach provided the highest net return (USD 770.59/ha) and benefit-cost ratio (1.93), making it the most effective and profitable weed management strategy for dill cultivation.
