Marine Bacterial Biopolymers, Cyanobacteria and Seaweed Biomasses as Soil Amendments to Enhance Soil Wetting Properties and Water Retention.

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.
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
Soil water retention is a key factor in ecological processes regulating ecosystem stability and resilience under environmental stress. In this regard, marine-derived additives may provide sustainable strategies to enhance soil water dynamics. Here, novel biopolymers derived from thermophilic bacteria, including six exopolysaccharides (EPS1-EPS6) and four biosurfactants (BS1-BS4), and biomasses from seaweed (BM1-BM4) and marine cyanobacteria (BC1-BC2), were investigated for their wetting properties and soil water retention. Wetting properties, including reduction in contact angle (RCA) and atmospheric-air moisture uptake (AMU), were monitored for 36 h at constant temperature (30 °C). The effect on soil water retention was evaluated in terms of water loss of soil samples treated with two different concentrations (0.5 and 1%
