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

Introduction: The continued use of chemical fertilizers to enhance productivity often disturbs the ecological balance of the soil. Integrated nutrient management involving beneficial microorganisms is a promising option for the sustainable maintenance of soil health. In the present study, we aimed to identify potassium (K)-solubilizing bacteria from the tropical evergreen forests of Meghalaya, India, and evaluate their growth-enhancing potential in maize under controlled conditions. Methods: When tested for K and P solubilizing activity Results: K and phosphorus (P) contents were significantly improved by all the strains. During the pot experiment, treatment with Discussion:
