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
Introduction: Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the essential nutrient for rubber growth. However, the effect of organic fertilizer application on soil microbial communities and functional genes related to N and P cycling in rubber plantation are unclear. Methods: A field trial was established in a rubber plantation with two treatments: organic fertilizer (OF) and an unfertilized control (CK). In this study, we used metagenomics analysis to examine the structural and functional alterations in the microbial community within the rhizospheric soil of rubber when organic fertilizers were applied. Results: Results showed that compared with the CK treatments, the OF treatment significantly increased soil organic matter (SOM), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen (AN), and available phosphorus (AP) contents. Taxonomic analysis revealed that OF treatment significantly enriched the phyla Pseudomonadota and Myxococcota, and the genera Conclusion: In summary, the application of organic fertilizer reshapes soil microbial communities and enhances the functional potential for nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycling. Our study provides a mechanistic basis for developing sustainable nutrient management strategies to optimize N and P bioavailability in tropical rubber agroecosystems.
