Deep nitrogen fertilizer placement improves the yield of summer maize (Zea mays L.) by enhancing its photosynthetic performance after silking.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundEffective nitrogen (N) fertilizer management can improve photosynthetic performance of maize and enhance the grain yield. However, the effects of the deep placement of N on post-silking photosynthetic performance in maize and its relationship with grain filling are limited. The study was a split-plot design with N application rates as the main plots and N placement depths as sub-plots. The N application rates consisted of 225, 191.25, and 157.5 kg ha
resultsIncreasing the N placement depth counteracted the adverse effects of reduced N availability on the leaf area index, leaf area duration, and photosynthetic performance of plants. Compared to 225 kg N ha
conclusionsOverall, reducing the recommended N application rate of 225 kg ha
