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

A comprehensive three-year field study was conducted to develop and validate soil test crop response (STCR)-based nutrient prescription equations for coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) in Alfisols. The research comprised three distinct experimental phases: a fertility gradient experiment, a main experiment, and a validation trial. Across these phases, over 72 soil and plant samples were collected and analyzed for nutrient content and compositional quality. The fertility gradient experiment established significant variability in soil NPK status using fodder maize as an indicator crop. In the main experiment, coriander plots subjected to varying fertility levels and nutrient management strategies-including farmyard manure (FYM) supplementation-were assessed for yield, nutrient uptake, and key quality metrics (total phenols, flavonoids, and ascorbic acid). Prescription equations targeting specific yield levels were developed by calculating nutrient requirements and quantifying contributions from soil, fertilizer, and FYM. The validation trial demonstrated that STCR-based recommendations, especially those integrating 7.5 t ha ⁻ ¹ FYM, substantially improved green foliage yield (up to 56.9% higher), nutrient uptake (N, P, K), and quality parameters compared to generalized recommended doses and soil fertility rating approaches. Enhanced outcomes were observed for value cost ratio, response yield stick, and nutrient use efficiency indices (Partial Factor Productivity, Agronomic Efficiency, Partial Nutrient Balance, Internal Utilization Efficiency). Overall, the STCR approach with integrated nutrient management proved effective in increasing yield, improving quality, and optimizing nutrient use efficiency in coriander, advancing the case for site-specific and balanced fertilizer application in sustainable coriander production.
