Long-term conservation agriculture with optimum nitrogen fertilization improves soil phosphorus availability.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Understanding the interactive effects of conservation agriculture (CA) and nitrogen (N) fertilization on soil phosphorus (P) dynamics is critical for sustainable nutrient management. However, information on the dynamics and availability of P pools under the combination of long-term CA practices with N fertilization is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term impacts of CA and different N rates on labile, moderately labile, and non-labile P fractions in a wheat (Triticum aestivum)-mungbean (Vigna radiata)-rice (Oryza sativa L) rotation after the 36th consecutive crop. The field experiment was conducted in a split-split plot design with two tillage systems (conventional tillage, CT; strip tillage, ST), two residue levels (lower residue, LR (15 cm); higher residue, HR (30 cm)), and six nitrogen (N) rates (N0, N60, N80, N100, N120, N140 representing 0%, 60%, 80%,100%, 120% and 140%, respectively of the recommended dose). The ST-HR significantly enhanced labile-P availability. Soluble-P, and NaHCO3-Po (organic) increased by 4% and 35% under ST compared to CT, and by 259% and 26% under HR compared to LR, respectively. While HR enhanced most soil P fractions, higher N rates (>N100) tended to decrease labile-Pi (inorganic) fractions by up to 45% suggesting a potential decline in plant-available P. The NaHCO3-Pi was higher in HR coupled with lower N rate (≤N100). Optimum N rate under CA aided in raising the NaHCO3-Po fractions. Moderately labile-P fractions were higher in ST-HR with increased N rate (>N100). Acid-P increased by 38% under ST, with complex interactions observed across treatments. Acid-P was consistently higher in ST-HR coupled with lower N rate (≤N100) while residual-P was higher in ST-LR coupled with same N rate. The interactions among tillage, residue, and N were significant for most P pools highlighting the synergistic effects of CA and N management. Overall, ST-HR-N100 was found to optimize P availability and minimize non-labile P buildup, offering a balanced P dynamics for improved soil fertility and sustainable crop production.
