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

Organic-matter degradation and humification degree are key determinants of compost quality. In this study, we used pig manure and wheat straw to investigate the effects of diatomite on organic-component degradation, humification, and fungal community succession. In a 40-day aerobic composting experiment, we compared a control treatment with treatments supplemented with 4% and 8% diatomite. The results indicated that diatomite significantly accelerated organic-matter degradation and humification, with 8% diatomite increasing organic matter and lignin degradation by 9.05% and 9.27%, respectively. Based on linear interpolation of the HA/FA ratio dynamics, it was estimated that the maturity threshold (a ratio of humic acid to fulvic acid > 1.6) was reached 5-7 days earlier in the group subjected to 8% diatomite treatment relative to the control. Fungal community analysis revealed that the 8% diatomite treatment effectively alleviated fungal suppression under high-temperature conditions. By the maturation phase, fungal richness and diversity in the group subjected to the 8% diatomite treatment reached 1.8 and 2.6 times that of the control, respectively, significantly promoting the colonization and recovery of thermophilic Ascomycota, including
