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
Phosphorus (P) fertilizers are crucial to achieve peak productivity in agricultural systems. However, the fate of P fertilizers via microorganism incorporation and the exchange processes between soil pools is not well understood. 18Oxygen-labelled phosphate (18O- Pi) can be tracked as it cycles through soil systems. Our study describes biological and geochemical P dynamics using a tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) method for the absolute quantification of 18O- Pi. Soil microcosms underwent three treatments: (i) 18O- Pi, (ii) unlabelled phosphate (16O- Pi) or (iii) Milli-Q control, dissolved in a bio-stimulatory solution. During a 6-week series the microcosms were sampled to measure P by Hedley sequential fractionation and DNA extraction samples digested to 3'-deoxynucleoside 5'-monophosphates (dNMP). A MS/MS attached to a HPLC analyzed each P-species through collision-induced dissociation. The resin-extractable and bicarbonate 18O- Pi and 16O- Pi fractions displayed similar precipitation and adsorption-desorption trends. Biotic activity measured in the NaOH and dNMP fractions rapidly delabelled 18O- Pi; however, the MS/MS measured some 18O that remained between the P backbone and deoxyribose sugars. After 6 weeks, the 18O- Pi had not reached the HCl soil pool, highlighting the long-term nature of P movement. Our methodology improves on previous isotopic tracking methods as endogenous P does not dilute the system, unlike 32P techniques, and measured total P is not a ratio, dissimilar from natural abundance techniques. Measuring 18O- Pi using MS/MS provides information to enhance land sustainability and stewardship practices regardless of soil type by understanding both the inorganic movement of P fertilizers and the dynamic P pool in microbial DNA.
