Effects of potassium fertilizer application on
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Introduction: The effects of potassium fertilization on the quality of Qiongzhuea tumidinoda shoots and soil nutrients were investigated by using a completely randomized block design with no fertilization as the blank control group (CK). In order to provide aiming to establish a theoretical foundation for optimizing cultivation practices and fertilization strategies in Q. tumidinoda forests. Methods: The effects of four different levels of potassium fertilizer application [K1 (75 kg/ha), K2 (150 kg/ha), K3 (225 kg/ha), K4 (300 kg/ha)] on different nutrients (ash, crude fiber, protein, crude fat, soluble sugar, starch) and amino acid content of Q. tumidinoda shoots and soil nutrient content were studied. Results: The application of potassium fertilizer significantly reduced the ash content of Q. tumidinoda shoots but had no significant effect on crude fiber content. However, it significantly influenced soluble sugar, starch, and protein levels, which exhibited an initial increase followed by a decrease. K3 treatment had the highest soluble sugar content, K2 treatment had the highest starch content, and K3 treatment had the lowest crude fat content. There was no significant difference in the content of essential amino acids between different treatments, but the application of potassium fertilizer significantly affected other amino acid components, especially significantly promoted the accumulation of umami amino acids and sweet amino acids, indicating that the application of potassium fertilizer improved the umami and sweet taste of Q. tumidinoda shoots. With the increase of potassium application rate, the contents of soil organic matter, total nitrogen and total potassium increased first and then decreased, while the content of total phosphorus increased continuously. In the 0~20 cm soil layer, the highest contents of soil organic matter, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total potassium, hydrolyzed nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium were K2, K1, K4, K1, K2, K2 and K1 treatments, respectively. In the 20~40 cm soil layer, the highest contents of soil organic matter, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total potassium, hydrolyzable nitrogen, available phosphorus and available potassium were K2, K1, K4, K2, K4, K3 and K1 treatments, respectively. Discussion: Appropriate application of potassium fertilizer can not only improve the nutritional quality of bamboo shoots, but also significantly improve the content of soil organic matter and nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium nutrients. The optimal application amount of potassium fertilizer in this study was K2 treatment, that is, 150 kg/ha.
