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

Biochar is widely used as a soil amendment, either alone or in association with fertilizer. However, the effects of biochar particle size on the soil microbial community are largely unclear. Biochar was divided into two groups according to diameter sizes: < 1 mm and 2.5-5 mm (labeled as CB1 and CB5, respectively). A pot experiment was established in which maize (Zea maize L.) was treated with CB1, CB5, and/or external nitrogen (N, NH
