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

Co-vermicomposting high-lignin green waste with cattle manure can improve nutrient supply and microbial activity; however, this technology remains limited in terms of lignocellulose degradation efficiency and product quality improvement. This study evaluated the effects of 5% calcium superphosphate (SSP), 5% synthetic lignocellulose-degrading microbial communities (SynComs), and their combined addition on vermicompost quality, microbial communities, and the functional potential related to carbohydrate degradation and nitrogen cycling. The results showed that all treatments maintained a neutral to slightly alkaline pH, favoring the growth of microorganisms involved in carbon and nitrogen cycling. Compared with other treatments, 5% SynComs showed the strongest stimulatory effect on lignocellulose-degrading enzyme and urease activities, effectively reduced the C/N ratio, and increased the germination index, humic substance content, nitrate nitrogen content, and overall quality score. Microbial analysis showed that the amendment treatments enriched nitrogen cycling related taxa, including
