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

Straw burning remains a significant environmental and agricultural challenge, releasing harmful pollutants and depleting soil fertility. This study evaluates the effectiveness of 2 novel microbial formulations, NTT-02 and NTT-03, in promoting straw decomposition and enhancing soil quality. Field experiments demonstrated that NTT-02 application resulted in a 15% increase in total organic carbon (TOC), a 12% increase in total nitrogen (TN), and a 10% increase in total phosphorus (TP) compared to untreated controls. Additionally, total aerobic microbial counts increased by 1.5 times, and cellulose-decomposing microorganisms doubled in population, indicating enhanced soil microbial activity. The microbial treatments accelerated straw decomposition, reducing the breakdown period from 28 days to 14 to 18 days. Furthermore, rice yield improved by 8% to 10% relative to conventional practices. These results highlight the potential of microbial-based straw treatments as a sustainable alternative to open-field burning, promoting improved soil health, enhanced crop productivity, and environmentally responsible agricultural practices.
