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

Beneficial microbial consortia provide an eco-friendly alternative to conventional inorganic fertilizers and can serve as a complementary management tool for enhancing soil fertility and crop productivity. This study aimed to assess the impact of microbial consortia application on the indigenous maize rhizosphere microbiome under different fertilization regimes in organically managed fields in Germany. Three experimental microbial consortia (MC_B, MC_C, MC_C_AMF) and one commercial product (Micosat F) were tested in combination with three fertilization levels (unfertilized, 110 kg nitrogen ha
