Silicate chemical weathering disrupts the global patterns of phosphorus limitation.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Global change is accelerating the chemical weathering of silicate rocks and the associated phosphorus release. However, the effects of phosphorus release on the global patterns of plant phosphorus limitation remain unclear. Here, we show that approximately 47% of the exposed areas in global silicate rocks are subject to phosphorus limitation of vegetation growth, as estimated using the ratio of leaf nitrogen to phosphorus resorption efficiency. Phosphorus-limited areas are projected to expand markedly with global warming, and the proportion may reach 54 - 59% according to two model scenarios (the shared socioeconomic pathways SSP2-4.5 and SSP5-8.5). Nevertheless, phosphorus release from accelerated chemical weathering of silicate rocks mitigates this limitation, with a relative contribution of approximately 15.5%. This work highlights the implications of accelerated chemical weathering of silicate rocks and its resulting phosphorus release for the global patterns of phosphorus limitation, providing a scientific foundation for phosphorus management strategies.
