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

Conventional fertilizers are associated with substantial nutrient losses and environmental impacts, highlighting the need for more sustainable fertilization strategies. Here, we report the synthesis of potassium-doped amorphous calcium phosphate nanoparticles functionalized with urea (KACP-U) as a controlled-release nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK) nanofertilizer. Structural and compositional analyses confirmed the amorphous nature of the calcium phosphate matrix, effective potassium incorporation, and successful urea loading. Soil column leaching experiments under severe simulated rainfall conditions demonstrated that KACP-U significantly mitigates nutrient losses, with sustained urea release and a marked reduction of phosphorus, calcium, and potassium leaching by more than 1 order of magnitude compared with conventional fertilizers. Greenhouse experiments with corn (
