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

To enhance sustainable soil fertility and efficient phosphorus (P) management, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) play a central role in solubilizing soil mineral phosphorus by releasing organic acids and acidifying micro-niches. Thus far, the influence of spatial P heterogeneity on bacterial eco-physiological adaptations to P-limited, alkaline soils remains poorly understood. This study examined how soil edaphic factors vary across major wheat-growing regions, assessing their influence on the abundance and functional properties of culturable PSB. Soil available P was the strongest predictor of culturable bacterial abundance, with a threshold of
