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

In containerized finished plant production, the effects of biostimulants in nursery practice are often judged primarily on the basis of visual condition, while a more precise interpretation of treatment response requires leaf-level physiological and rhizosphere-level indicators. The aim of our study was to determine how the humic- and fulvic acid-based BiStep biostimulant influences the physiological functioning and, in part, the rhizosphere enzyme activity of three deciduous ornamental shrub taxa widely used both in nursery finished plant production and in urban green space plantings, namely,
