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
Introduction: The extensive application of potassium (K) in tobacco has exacerbated the shortage of K mineral resources in China. Polyaspartic acid (PASP) had shown significant effects in promoting the absorption of K, increasing the utilization rate of K fertilizer, and improving yield and quality of tobacco. Methods: To clarify the potential and mechanism of PASP replacing some K fertilizers in tobacco production, field experiment was conducted with 4 different treatments: NK (traditional fertilization); RT (10% reduction of K fertilizer); NKP (traditional fertilization +4% PASP/total K Results: The reduction of K inhibited leaf growth, yield formation, K absorption, improved stem rate and decreased thickness, tensile strength, elongation rate and leaf surface density of flue-cured leaves, while had no effect on N, P, Cl content and rate of total sugar and nicotine. Comparing to NK, NKP raised the total yield by 16.7%, promoted physical properties and chemical quality optimization of flue-cured leaves. What is more, RKP compensated for the decrease in leaf yield, K content, processing utilization rate and sugar/nicotine of different parts caused by K reduction. However, K reduction and PASP application obviously influenced metabolite composition of rhizosphere soil without affecting the microbial community composition, and our results showed a relatively high correlation between differential metabolites and yield, K content, sugar/nicotine ratio, elongation rate of flue-cured tobacco. Conclusion: Overall, PASP provided better optimization effects on tobacco growth, yield, physical properties, chemical quality of flue-cured leaves, and PASP was beneficial for replacing K fertilizer to a certain extent, reducing the consumption of K mineral resources and environmental pollution.
