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

Formulation of effective fertilizer management practice is crucial for sustainable rice cultivation. Prolonged application of chemical fertilizers can result in N loss into the environment, causing harmful effects. Application of organic fertilizer acts as an alternative source of nutrient supply for rice cultivation. The present study evaluates growth and productivity of rice due to sole application of three different types of composts, along with their combined application with chemical fertilizer. The three types of composts are compost made from organic component of municipal solid waste, vermicompost made from a combination of rice straw and cow manure and compost made from a floating mat found in Loktak Lake consisting of a heterogeneous mass of soil and aquatic macrophytes locally known as phumdi. Eight different kinds of treatments were maintained to determine growth and yield of a local rice variety (RCM-13), in field condition for two growing season in two years: (1) Control, no fertilizers applied (2) MSWC (Municipal solid waste compost, 100%) (3) VC (Vermicompost, 100%) (4) PC (Phumdi compost, 100%) (5) CF (Chemical fertilizer, 100%) (6) MSWC + CF (50%+50%) (7) VC + CF (50%+50%) (8) PC + CF (50%+50%) arranged in randomized block design. The combined application of phumdi compost and chemical fertilizer (50%+50%) produced 33.6% more grain yield and 26.21% more straw yield compared to 100% application of chemical fertilizer. Application of 50%+50% of municipal solid waste compost with chemical fertilizer and 50%+50% of vermicompost with chemical fertilizer were also able to produce more grain yield compared to sole application of chemical fertilizer, with an increase of 5% and 13.16% respectively. The finding indicates substituting 50% of chemical fertilizer with composts can enhance production of the present rice variety. Moreover, utilization of phumdi in the form of compost can also help in the management of the lake from further eutrophication.
