Effect of organic and chemical fertilizers on growth and active constituents of Dodonaea viscosa.
Article in BMC plant biology, 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
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two fertilizers: organic fertilizer (humic acid, HA) at four levels (0, 0.75, 1.5, and 2 mL·L⁻¹) and chemical (NPK 20:20:20) at three levels (0, 0.5, and 1 g per pot). The vegetative growth parameters (plant height, leaf number, branch number, stem diameter, fresh and dry weight) and biochemical characteristics total chlorophyll, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content, protein, and total phenolic acids were analyzed. Foliar application of HA at 2 mL·L⁻¹ + NPK 0.5 g per pot significantly improved the vegetative growth traits (plant height, leaf number, branch number, and stem diameter). The nutrient content (NPK) and protein increased at NPK (1 g per pot). The study also quantified total phenolic compounds and assessed antioxidant activity via DPPH, showing that D. viscosa leaves have high phenolic content and act as a strong natural antioxidant resource. The highest antioxidant activity (85.5 µmol·L⁻¹) was found with the ethyl acetate extract at 200 µmol·L⁻¹. The combination of HA and NPK significantly increased the phenolic acids, especially quercetin, gallic acid, and cinnamic acid. GC-MS identified eleven compounds within the organic layer of the extract, with myrcene (43.431%), eugenol. In conclusion, the optimal HA and NPK combination significantly enhanced vegetative growth, biomass, and secondary metabolite production in Dodonaea viscosa. These outcomes support the hypothesis that combined foliar application of HA and NPK produces synergistic effects on growth and phytochemical biosynthesis.
