Effect of municipal biowaste derived biostimulant on nitrogen fate in the plant-soil system during lettuce cultivation.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
A main concern of agriculture is to improve plant nutrient efficiency to enhance crop yield and quality, and at the same time to decrease the environmental impact caused by the lixiviation of excess N fertilizer application. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential use of biopolymers (BPs), obtained by alkaline hydrolysis of the solid anaerobic digestate of municipal biowastes, in order to face up these main concerns of agriculture. The experimental trials involved the application of BPs (at 50 and 150 kg/ha) alone or mixed with different amounts (100%, 60% and 0%) of mineral fertilizer (MF). Three different controls were routinely included in the experimental trials (MF 100%, 60% and 0%). The effect of BPs on lettuce was evaluated by monitoring growth parameters (fresh and dry weights of shoot and root, nitrogen use efficiency), and the N-flux in plant-soil system, taking into account the nitrate leached due to over irrigation events. The activities of enzymes involved in the nitrogen uptake (nitrate reductase, glutamate synthase and glutamine synthase), and the nitrogen form accumulated in the plant tissues (total N, protein and NO
