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

Slow-release urea based on biodegradable polymers offers a sustainable alternative to conventional formulations, which often causes rapid nitrogen loss and adverse environmental impacts. This study aimed to develop and evaluate novel biodegradable polymer coated urea using polybutylene succinate (PBS), polycaprolactone (PCL), and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) as a crosslinker, with or without plasma surface treatment. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed decreased crystallinity in PCL after MDI crosslinking and plasma treatment, suggesting enhanced polymer interactions and structural modifications within the blend. Nitrogen release dynamics were assessed through a 90-day soil column experiment. Compared with the control, all coated formulations significantly delayed peak of the release of nitrate-nitrogen (NO
