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

The development of nanofertilizers has gained significant attention for their potential to enhance nutrient delivery to plants while mitigating the environmental impact of intensive agriculture. In this study, we investigated the urea functionalization of two types of calcium phosphate nanoparticles, hydroxyapatite (HAP) and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), as nanofertilizers capable of simultaneously releasing phosphorus and nitrogen in a controlled manner. Leaching experiments using a vermiculite column revealed that ACP-urea significantly slowed urea release compared with free urea, whereas HAP-urea exhibited a release profile similar to that of free urea. Greenhouse experiments on corn (
