Short term effects of biochar on soil chemical properties, growth, yield, quality, and shelf life of tomato.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 use of cow bone biochar for improving soil chemical properties and tomato quality and shelf life remains relatively unexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of biochar on soil chemical properties, growth, yield, quality and shelf life of tomato. The experiment, conducted over a period of 120 days, comprised five levels (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 t ha⁻¹) of cow bone biochar arranged in a completely randomised design replicated three times. Results indicated that cow bone biochar increased soil chemical properties, growth, yield, quality, shelf life and the percentage weight loss of tomato fruits relative to the control. The 40 t ha
