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

Bio-organic fertilizers (BOF) containing both organic amendments and beneficial microorganisms have been consistently shown to improve soils fertility and yield. However, the exact mechanisms which link amendments and yields remain disputed, and the complexity of bio-organic fertilizers may work in parallel in several ways. BOF may directly improve yield by replenishing soil nutrients or introducing beneficial microbial genes or indirectly by altering the soil microbiome to enrich native beneficial microorganisms. In this work, we aim to disentangle the relative contributions of direct and indirect effects on pear yield. We treated pear trees with either chemical fertilizer or organic fertilizer with/without the plant-beneficial bacterium Bacillus velezensis SQR9. We then assessed, in detail, soil physicochemical and biological properties (metagenome sequencing) as well as pear yield. We then evaluated the relative importance of direct and indirect effects of soil amendments on pear yield. Both organic treatments increased plant yield by up to 20%, with the addition of bacteria tripling the increase driven by organic fertilizer alone. This increase could be linked to alterations in soil physicochemical properties, bacterial community function, and metabolism. Supplementation of organic fertilizer SQR9 increased rhizosphere microbiome richness and functional diversity. Fertilizer-sensitive microbes and functions responded as whole guilds. Pear yield was most positively associated with the
