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

The utilization of nitrogen fertilizer in excess over an extended period in facility cultivation has been demonstrated to engender a decline in tomato yield and quality, thus becoming a bottleneck issue that restricts production. In order to explore the biological mechanisms of nitrogen reduction and companion planting patterns on tomato yield and quality, this study conducted a two-year pot experiment under different nitrogen application levels and planting patterns, multisystem analysis of tomato rhizosphere soil microbial communities and root secretions was performed using 16S Illumina MiSeq sequencing and LC-MS/MS mass spectrometry. Over two years, the yield of tomatoes grown using reduced nitrogen and companion planting increased by 34.26% and 35.54% compared to monoculture, and by 1.23% and 3.57% compared to the application of conventional nitrogen and companion planting. Nitrogen use efficiency increased by 9.81% and 11.36%, respectively. The nitrogen reduction and companion planting model increased the content of soluble sugars and lycopene, improved soil dehydrogenase and protease activity, and changed the composition of rhizosphere bacterial communities and root exudates. At all nitrogen application rates, companion planting increased the abundance of
