Organic fertilizers and Azotobacter: effects on onion growth, yield, metabolites, and soil fertility.
Article in AMB Express, 2025. 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
This study assesses the effects of organic fertilizers (vermicompost (V) and rabbit manure (R), combined with the bio-fertilizer Azotobacter chroococcum (AZ), on onion growth, yield, soil properties, and chemical metabolites over two growing seasons (2021/2022 and 2022/2023). The experiment, conducted at the Experimental Farm of Al-Azhar University, Assiut, Egypt, used a split-plot design with organic fertilizers as the main plot and bio-fertilizer treatments as subplots. The combined application of rabbit manure and Azotobacter (R + AZ) produced the tallest plants (59.64 cm and 63.23 cm), highest leaf number (10.71 and 10.82), and greatest bulb diameter (10.29 cm and 10.39 cm) in the first and second seasons, respectively. This treatment also resulted in the highest bulb length (9.49 cm and 9.66 cm), bulb weight (2.54 kg and 2.61 kg per 10 plants), and total yield (63.86 and 65.64 ton ha−1) in the first and second seasons, respectively. Additionally, organic fertilization improved several soil properties, including increased organic matter content, pH reduction, and changes in electrical conductivity. Azotobacter inoculation also increased the concentration of bioactive metabolites, such as phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and lipids, with the R + AZ treatment showing the most significant increases. This study demonstrates that the combination of rabbit manure and Azotobacter can enhance onion yield and nutritional quality, providing a sustainable approach to onion production by improving soil health and reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.
