Comparative evaluation of bio-fertilizer replacement with chemical fertilizer in sesame (
Article in Heliyon, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Drought stress represents a considerable environmental challenge, exerting a deleterious effect on plant growth and productivity. In order to address this issue, the use of biostimulants, such as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), has gained increasing attention in recent years. The present study, conducted in 2022, sought to evaluate the effects of biological and chemical fertilizers under drought-stress conditions on sesame yield and water-use efficiency. The research was conducted at two farms, Dashthouz and Sarkahnan, which are located approximately 80 km apart in Rodan city, Hormozgan province, Iran. The research was designed as a factorial experiment using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The study examined two main factors: fertilizer application, with eight levels (bacteria (B), mycorrhizal fungi (MY), chemical fertilizer (NPK), bacteria + mycorrhizal fungi (B+MY), bacteria + chemical fertilizer (B+NPK), mycorrhizal fungi + chemical fertilizer (MY+NPK), bacteria + mycorrhizal fungi + chemical fertilizer (B+MY+NPK), and a control), and drought stress, with two levels (normal irrigation without drought stress and drought stress). The results indicated that the main effects of location, irrigation, fertilizer application, and their interactions significantly influenced the leaf area index (LAI), number of branches, number of capsules, number of seeds per capsule, seed yield, biological yield, harvest index, oil yield, meal yield, and water-use efficiency. However, there was no significant effect on thousand-seed weight. This indicates that all measured traits were influenced by the experimental factors. Regarding seed yield, the lowest value of 95.3 g/m
