Effects of short-term application of organic manure on the growth of forage maize (Zea mays L. cv. Kwangpyeongok) and soil bacterial communities.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
While chemical fertilizers (CF) ensure rapid crop growth, relying exclusively on them can disrupt natural nutrient cycling and lead to environmental concerns such as nutrient imbalance. In contrast, organic amendments offer a sustainable alternative by promoting resource circulation; however, their efficacy is often variable and difficult to control, depending on complex interactions among application rates, plant types, and field conditions. Therefore, gaining comprehensive insights into their optimal use is essential to maximize agricultural benefits. This study evaluated the effects of composted Hanwoo manure (HM) applied at standard (HM_1x) and quadruple (HM_4x) rates on forage maize growth and soil microbial communities compared with CF and no treatment (NT). Growth parameters indicated that plant length was highest in the CF (219.33 cm) and HM_4 × (217.30 cm) groups, followed by HM_1 × (176.78 cm) and NT (172.02 cm). Soil analysis indicated that organic matter (OM) and available phosphorus (P
