Biochar-based fertilizer increases soil nutrients and enhances tea quality: a metabolomics-based analysis.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 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
Introduction: Biochar-based fertilizers (BF) have emerged as a promising strategy to improve soil physicochemical and biological properties, thereby enhancing tea yield and quality. Methods: A field experiment was conducted using two types of BF- ordinary BF (BF1, containing 15% biochar) and optimized BF (BF2, containing 30% biochar)- applied for either 1 or 2 years. The effects on the soil nutrients, tea plant growth, tea quality, and metabolomics profiles were assessed. Results: Results showed that BF application significantly increased soil pH and nutrient availability, as well as the bud length and hundred-bud weight ( Discussion: Taken together, prolonged BF2 application significantly improved soil fertility, promoted tea growth, and enriched flavor-related metabolites, offering valuable insights for optimizing fertilization strategies in tea plantations.
