1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: Glomalin-related soil protein (GRSP), a nitrogen-linked glycoprotein secreted by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, is recognized for its role in enhancing soil physical and chemical properties and improving ecosystem stability. However, the dose-dependent effects of exogenous easily extractable GRSP (EE-GRSP) on perennial fruit crops such as citrus remain largely unexplored. Methods: The effects of varying strengths (1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and full strength (0.027 mg·mL Results: EE-GRSP significantly promoted kumquat growth and root development, with the 3/4 strength (0.020 mg·mL Discussion: These findings unequivocally establish that exogenous EE-GRSP can effectively promote citrus growth primarily by fostering robust synergistic soil-plant feedbacks through concomitant improvements in both soil physical structure (e.g., aggregate stability) and biochemical processes (e.g., enzyme activity and carbon sequestration). This study advances our mechanistic understanding of glomalin-mediated soil-plant interactions and highlights EE-GRSP as a promising and valuable soil amendment for sustainable citrus cultivation, urging further validation under diverse field conditions.
