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

Phosphorus (P) fixation and precipitation severely limit fertilizer efficiency in alkaline soils, contributing to resource depletion and environmental losses. In this study, a sustainable, pH-responsive phosphorus nano fertilizer was developed by mechanochemically converting Eppawala rock phosphate (ERP) into nano oxalic acid-modified rock phosphate (nano-Ox-ERP) and encapsulating it within a biodegradable sodium alginate-carboxymethyl cellulose (SA-CMC) hydrogel matrix supplemented with humic acid (HA). Nano Ox-ERP particles (60-180 nm) were characterized using PXRD, SEM-EDX, and FTIR. Hydrogel beads with varying nano Ox-ERP (20-80%) and humic acid (1-3%) compositions were evaluated for encapsulation efficiency, swelling behavior, and phosphorus release across pH 3.5-8.5. Formulation B8 (80% nano Ox-ERP + 2% HA) achieved 91.5% phosphate encapsulation and sustained release following Korsmeyer-Peppas kinetics. Pot experiments using
