The role of chemical fertilizer reduction and different microbial inoculants on yield increase in lettuce cultivation.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The use of probiotics to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture has proven to be a promising area of research, especially as the agricultural sector searches for sustainable alternatives to synthetic agents. However, there are few studies integrating probiotics into agricultural practices, especially in lettuce cultivation, to minimize the use of chemical fertilizers. Most previous research has focused on the effects of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and microalgae on yield, with little consideration of the combined effects of different microorganisms under the same soil and growing conditions. In this study, the effects of microbial biostimulants on the efficiency of fertilizer use in lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) cultivation were investigated, reducing the use of chemical fertilizers by 25%. The trial was conducted as a randomized block trial in a high tunnel greenhouse and comprised eight treatments: a negative control (T0, no chemical fertilizers or microorganisms), a positive control (T1, 500 kg ha
