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

Introduction: Accumulating evidence indicates that fertilizing soybean with nickel (Ni) can enhance biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) and plant productivity. Seed application is ideal for promoting nodule formation and early plant development, but this practice raises the risk of toxicity by reducing the difference between beneficial and harmful doses. Unfortunately, studies of the effects of Ni on the survival of Methods: The objective of this study was to establish Ni thresholds that maximize physiological and productivity benefits for soybean, balancing Ni's positive effects on BNF and plant growth against risks of phytotoxicity and bacterial inhibition. Soybean seeds were treated with nickel sulfate (NiSO Results and Discussion: Ni doses of up to 60 mg kg
