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) is a major nutrient required for plant growth but it forms complexes with other elements in soil upon application. A cost-effective way of availing P to plants is by use of Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB). There is a wide range of PSB suited for diverse agro-ecologies. A large part of Eastern Kenya especially the lower altitude regions are semi-arid with nutrient depleted soils and predominated by low-income smallholders farmers who do not afford costly inorganic fertilizers. To alleviate poor soil nutrition in this agroecosystem, we sought to study the diversity of phosphate solubilizing bacteria and their phosphate solubilization efficiency. The bacteria were selectively isolated in Pikovskaya's agar media. Bacterial colonies were enumerated as Colony Forming Units and morphological characterization determined by analyzing morphological characteristics. Genetic characterization was determined based on sequencing of 16S rRNA. A total of 71 PSB were isolated and they were placed into 23 morphological groups. Correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between phosphate solubilizing bacteria and the levels of phosphorus, iron, calcium, magnesium and soil pH. Analysis of 16S rRNA sequences revealed that the genetic sequences of the isolates matched the strains from the genera
