An improved global database and model of plant available soil phosphorus.
Article in Scientific data, 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
Plant-available phosphorus (P) is critical for plant production but can also be used an an indicator of P loss from soils and potential freshwater degradation. Global maps of plant-available P provide an overview of spatial patterns in plant-available P and are a critical input for various model applications, from agro-climate models to crop models. A previous map of Olsen P, the most widely applied soil test for plant-available P, was developed from ~575,000 observations, but informed by data biased toward Europe and North America. We present an updated and improved Olsen P dataset of 892,332 observations measured between 2000 and 2020. After filtering for consistent methods and depths we retained 42,034, greatly increasing geographic representation, particularly from Africa and Asia, and improving the balance of land uses sampled. Using these data, we applied a quantile random forest model with enhanced soil and land-use predictors to generate global grids (and maps) of the 20
