Vermiwash as microbial inoculant improved compost quality and functional microbial succession in chicken manure composting.
Article in World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Chicken manure composting faces challenges of slow maturation and nutrient losses. This study evaluated vermiwash bioaugmentation applied at 1.5% v/w to the composting substrate; the vermiwash was derived from Eudrilus eugeniae cultivated on an 8:2 cow-to-chicken manure substrate (20% chicken manure in the earthworm cultivation medium) selected for optimal vermiwash production. Vermiwash treatment achieved substantial improvements in nutrient content (nitrogen: 4.66% vs. 1.86%; phosphorus: 0.737% vs. 0.281%; free amino acids: 4.04 vs. 1.12 mg/g), microbial activity (density: 9.0 × 10⁹ vs. 1.3 × 10⁹ CFU/g), and maturity indicators (germination index: 100% vs. 58%; carbon mineralization: 25.5% greater). Comprehensive 16 S rRNA sequencing revealed distinct microbial succession from thermophilic Firmicutes (25-70%) to oligotrophic Bacteroidota and Proteobacteria (40% combined) at maturation, with enrichment of specialized degraders including Nocardiopsis (20% vs. 7%). Functional analysis (PICRUSt2) identified 73 differentially abundant pathways regulating membrane transport (17.8%), cellular signaling (11.0%), and core metabolism (26.0%). Vermiwash bioaugmentation provides a sustainable solution for converting agricultural waste into premium organic fertilizer with accelerated maturation (31 vs. 42 days) and superior nutrient retention, supporting reduced chemical fertilizer dependency in agriculture.
