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

The utilization of urban waste for land management plays a crucial role in reshaping material flows between human activities and the environment. Sewage sludge alkaline thermal hydrolysis (ATH) produces sludge-derived plant biostimulants (SPB), which have garnered attention due to the presence of indole-3-acetic acid. However, there remains a gap in understanding SPB's molecular-level effects and its comprehensive impact on crops throughout their growth cycle. In this study, non-targeted and targeted metabolomic approaches are employed to analyze 51 plant hormones and 1,177 metabolites, revealing novel insights. The findings demonstrate that low concentrations of SPB exerted multiple beneficial effects on rice roots, leaves, and the root-soil system, facilitating rapid cell division and enhancing antioxidant defense mechanisms. These results provide a vital foundation for understanding ATH metabolic pathways and advocating for widespread SPB application, offering significant implications for sustainable land management.
