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

Soybean (Glycine max L.) is a globally important legume for oil and protein production, yet its responses to specific organic fertilisation practices remain insufficiently understood. Organic amendments such as cattle dung and poultry manure are sustainable alternatives to inorganic fertilisers, but their effects on the soybean rhizosphere microbiome remain poorly characterised. This study investigated microbial community structure and functional diversity under poultry manure and cattle dung treatments. Rhizospheric soils were collected from treated plots, untreated controls and bulk soil and then subjected to physicochemical analysis. DNA extracted from samples was analysed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform, with data processed in QIIME 2 (v2019.1). Poultry manure increased available phosphorus (28%) and calcium (19%), while cattle dung enhanced potassium (22%) and magnesium (17%). Microbial community composition shifted significantly, with poultry manure promoting copiotrophic taxa such as Burkholderia and Cupriavidus and cattle dung enriching decomposers including Paenibacillus and Treponema. Alpha diversity was highest in poultry manure (Shannon index 6.2) and bulk soil (6.0) and lowest in cattle dung (5.1). Functional predictions indicated retention of core metabolic pathways, suggesting functional redundancy. Overall, organic fertilisation reshapes microbial communities while maintaining essential functions, supporting sustainable soybean cultivation.
