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

Food security is increasingly challenged by rapid population growth and limited arable land. Fertilizers are essential for boosting yields, yet conventional types often cause nutrient losses and environmental pollution. This study developed a bio-based controlled-release fertilizer (CRF) nanocomposite integrating cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) extracted from pineapple peel, biofertilizers, and biodegradable polymers to enhance nutrient efficiency and sustainability. CNFs were produced with a yield of 40.86% via microwave-assisted extraction and 33.21% via high-speed blending, with the former showing superior structural and physicochemical properties. The optimized CNF was incorporated into six CRF formulations (Control, F1-F5) containing 0-35% CNF. Among them, formulation F1 demonstrated optimal biodegradability, water retention, and nutrient release performance. Agronomic evaluation under both land and vertical farming systems confirmed that F1 markedly improved plant height (6.7-182.4 cm), leaf area (16-530 cm
