Ammonium Polyphosphate Promotes Maize Growth and Phosphorus Uptake by Altering Root Properties.
Article in Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Phosphorus (P) is an essential nutrient for maize growth, significantly affecting both yield and quality. Despite the typically high concentration of available P in black soils, the efficiency of crop uptake and utilization remains relatively low. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different P fertilizers on maize yield, root growth parameters, and P use efficiency to identify strategies for optimizing P management in black soil regions. Field experiment results indicated that the combination of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) with other P fertilizers led to variations in yield and P fertilizer absorption efficiency. Various P fertilizers were tested, including diammonium phosphate (DAP), ammonium polyphosphate (APP), fused calcium magnesium phosphate (FCMP), a combination of DAP and FCMP (DAP+FCMP), and a control with no phosphate (CK). The results indicated that P application significantly increased maize yield, with APP (171.8 g/plant) outperforming other P application treatments. Different P fertilizer types significantly affect soil P content and the composition of P fractions. APP significantly increased both the total P (TP) and the proportion of inorganic P (Pi). Furthermore, APP application significantly improved root length (RL), surface area (SAR), and root activity (RA) compared to CK, leading to enhanced nutrient absorption. APP also significantly increased P uptake and utilization (REp, FPp, AEp, PHI, and PAC). In summary, by optimizing plant biomass and P uptake, APP can directly and indirectly influence maize yield. Improving rhizosphere properties through the selection of suitable fertilizer types can enhance fertilizer use efficiency and increase maize production.
