Effects of biochar-based controlled release nitrogen fertilizer on nitrogen-use efficiency of oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.).

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
Biochar-based controlled release nitrogen fertilizers (BCRNFs) have received increasing attention due to their ability to improve nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) and increase crop yields. We previously developed a novel BCRNF, but its effects on soil microbes, NUE, and crop yields have not been reported. Therefore, we designed a pot experiment with five randomised treatments: CK (without urea and biochar), B (addition biochar without urea), B + U (biochar mixed urea), Urea (addition urea without biochar), and BCRNF (addition BCRNF), to investigate the effects of BCRNF on nitrifiers and denitrifiers, and how these impact nitrogen supply and NUE. Results of high-throughput sequencing revealed bacterial community groups with higher nutrient metabolic cycling ability under BCRNF treatment during harvest stage. Compared to Urea treatment, BCRNF treatment stimulated nitrification by increasing the copy number of the bacterial amoA gene and reducing nitrous oxide emission by limiting the abundance of nirS and nirK. Eventually, BCRNF successfully enhanced the yield (~ 16.6%) and NUE (~ 58.79%) of rape by slowly releasing N and modulating the abundance of functional microbes through increased soil nitrification and reduced denitrification, as compared with Urea treatment. BCRNF significantly improved soil NO
