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

Potassium (K) is an essential macronutrient for plants and plays a critical role in soil microbial processes. However, its systemic effects on rhizosphere microorganisms in high-value crops like cherry tomato remain poorly understood. This study established a potassium gradient (K0 represents the no-potassium application, K1 represents low-potassium application, K2 represents a moderate-potassium application, K3 represents the conventional-potassium application, and K4 represents excessive-potassium application) to investigate responses in growth and rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities of cherry tomato. Moderate potassium (K2) significantly enhanced dry matter accumulation in cherry tomato. Bacterial and fungal communities displayed distinct patterns: bacterial structure shifted continuously along the gradient, with specific enrichment of functional genera (nitrogen-fixing
