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

Driven by waste resource utilization and carbon neutrality imperatives, this study synthesized cyanobacterial growth elicitor (CGE) and cyanobacterial-bamboo growth elicitor (CBGE) via acid-hydrothermal hydrolysis. The coupling potential of cyanobacterial biochar (CB) for improving rhizosphere soil and crop quality was investigated through four pot trial treatments: (1) CK (control), (2) BR (rhizospheric CB), (3) LBR (rhizospheric CB with CGE), (4) LZBR (rhizospheric CB with CBGE). Integration of phenotypic analyses, microbiome profiling, functional gene predictions, and risk assessment elucidated biostimulant mechanisms. Compared to CK, all treatments elevated soil nutrient levels. BR exhibited superior nitrogen enrichment (15 ± 3 g/kg), while LBR and LZBR—particularly LZBR—enhanced phosphorus/potassium bioavailability and maximized soil organic carbon (SOC). LZBR treatment markedly increased Chryseobacterium abundance (an organic matter-decomposing genus). Functional verification confirmed enhanced C-N-P cycling activity, minimized environmental nutrient leakage, and improved plant nutrient assimilation. Specifically, LZBR increased soybean grain protein content by 37.0 g/kg and plant nitrogen accumulation by 5.4 g/kg compared to CK, and risk assessments indicated no detectable ecotoxicological effects. Consequently, the coupled application of CGE and CBGE derived from cyanobacteria and bamboo powder simultaneously improves soil quality and crop performance. This approach establishes a novel waste valorization pathway, suitable for partial replacement of chemical fertilizers and carbon emission reduction.
