Effect of Biochar and Well-Rotted Manure on Maize Yield in Intercropping Systems Based on High-Throughput Sequencing Technology.
Article in Plants (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Biochar and well-rotted manure are commonly employed materials for sustainable agricultural development, possessing the potential to consistently enhance the yield of monoculture crops. However, their impact on the stability of crop yields in intercropping systems, as well as the microenvironment of the border-row rhizosphere, remains inadequately understood. Consequently, this study utilized corn stover biochar and well-rotted pig manure while minimizing the application of chemical fertilizers to investigate the synergistic effects of biochar and composted manure in augmenting maize yield within a soybean-maize intercropping system and regulating the nitrogen cycle in the border-row rhizosphere under reduced fertilization conditions. In comparison to traditional fertilization, the combination of biochar and manure under reduced fertilization conditions significantly increased the contents of ammonium nitrogen (55%), dissolved organic nitrogen (523%), and particulate organic nitrogen (833%) while simultaneously decreasing the content of mineral-associated organic nitrogen (60%). Additionally, this combination synergistically reduced urease activity (22%) while enhancing the activities of nitrogenase (11%), nitrate reductase (297%), and hydroxylamine reductase (20%). This study establishes a theoretical foundation for elucidating how organically amended materials consistently enhance productivity in intercropping systems and alter nitrogen ecology in border-row rhizospheres, offering new perspectives on sustainable fertilization strategies and crop patterns.
