Physiological efficacy of the amino acid-based biostimulants Pepton 85/16, Pepton origin, and Nutriterra in lettuce grown under optimal and reduced synthetic nitrogen fertilization.

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
Improving nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) is a key objective in sustainable agriculture, particularly for leafy vegetables such as lettuce, which require high N inputs. Biostimulants offer a promising strategy for enhancing crop performance while reducing fertilizer dependency. In this study, we evaluated the effects of three amino acid-based biostimulants, Pepton 85/16, Pepton Origin, and Nutriterra, on lettuce growth and NUE under three N fertilization levels (100%, 70%, and 40% of the recommended dose). All biostimulants improved shoot biomass, leaf area, and physiological performance, including photosynthetic rate (
