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

Biosolarization utilizes organic amendments to produce biopesticide compounds in soil that can work in tandem with other stresses to inactivate agricultural pests. The prospect of using by-products from industrial almond processing as amendments for biosolarization was assessed. Soil mesocosms were used to simulate biosolarization using various almond by-products, application rates, and incubation times. Several potentially biopesticidal organic acids were identified and quantified in the soil, and the toxicity of soil extracts was evaluated for the root lesion nematode (Pratylenchus vulnus). It was determined that both almond hulls and a mixture of hulls and shells harbored several acids, the concentration of which was enhanced 1-7 fold via fermentation by native soil microbes. Organic acid concentration in the soil showed a significant linear relationship with the quantity of waste biomass amended. Extracts from soils containing at least 2.5% incorporated biomass by dry weight showed a 84-100% mortality of nematodes, which corresponded to acid concentrations 0.75 mg/g (2.0 g/L) or greater. This study showed that almond processing by-products - hulls and a hull and shell mixture - were suitable amendments for control of P. vulnus and potentially other soil agricultural pests in the context of biosolarization.
