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
Application of plant growth-promoting microbes (PGPMs) can contribute to sustainable agricultural ecosystems. From a three-year field experiment, we already found that the addition of Trichoderma bio-organic fertilizer (BF) significantly improved crop growth and yield compared to the application of organic fertilizer (OF). Here, we tracked the responses of soil bacterial and fungal communities to these treatments to find the key soil microbial taxa that contribute to the crop yield enhancement. We also examined if bacterial and fungal suspensions from resulting soils could improve plant growth upon inoculation into sterilized soil. Lastly, we isolated a number of fungal strains related to populations affected by treatments to examine their role in plant growth promotion. Results showed that consecutive application of BF impacted soil fungal communities, and the biological nature of plant growth promotion was confirmed via pot experiments using γ-sterilized versus none-sterilized soils collected from the field. Soil slurry experiments suggested that fungal, but not bacterial communities, played an important role in plant growth promotion, consistent with the results of our field experimental data. Fungal community analysis of both field and slurry experimental soils revealed increases in specific resident Aspergillus spp. Interestingly, Aspergillus tamarii showed no plant growth promotion by itself, but strongly increased the growth promotion activity of the Trichoderma amendment strain upon their co-inoculation. The effectiveness of the fungal amendment appears to stem not only from its own action, but also from synergetic interactions with resident fungal populations activated upon biofertilizer application.
