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

Characteristics of an acid soil cultivated with Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu were evaluated in relation to two types of fertilization: a conventional one, chemical based on nitrogen and potassium, and a biofertilizer, based on microalgae biomass. The results were compared among three treatments, control, conventional, and biological fertilization, with seven replications each. The study evaluated microalgae community, total carbon and nitrogen contents, mineral nitrogen, and enzymatic activity. Chlorella vulgaris showed the highest organism density, which can be explained by its rapid growth and high resistance. The highest species diversity was detected in the control 1,380,938 org cm
