Article in Journal of agricultural and food chemistry, 2024. 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
The plant growth-promoting effects of biostimulants have been widely documented, while little is known about the intrinsic mechanism. In our study, a pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of biostimulants on maize, and the maize root transcriptome and rhizosphere microbiome were assessed. The physicochemical properties of the soil were significantly altered with various trends, and the growth and yield of maize were promoted by biostimulants. Sampling time and maize strain were the strongest factors that altered the rhizosphere microorganisms. Rhizosphere microbiota with biostimulant application exhibited high community robustness. Root transcriptome analysis suggested an altered expression profile induced by biostimulants and maize strains. An integrated correlation analysis demonstrated that phosphate and nitrate metabolism genes are tightly associated with some rhizosphere microbiota. These results implied the plant growth-promoting effects of biostimulants might act in a rhizosphere microorganism-dependent manner and help to expand the use of biostimulants in sustainable agriculture.
