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

Nanobubble technology has shown considerable promise in sustainable agriculture due to its ability to enhance seed germination, plant growth, and soil quality without leaving harmful residues. While benefits are often attributed to improved soil aeration and soil texture changes (e.g., permeability), nanobubbles may also influence soil microbiome, an essential driver of plant health and nutrient cycling. This study systematically investigated how different nanobubble types-oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide-modulate soil chemistry and microbial community structure over a 4-week period. Multivariate analyses on microbiome taxonomic composition revealed distinct microbial responses to each gas type. Oxygen and hydrogen nanobubble treatments resulted in more pronounced shifts in microbial composition and functional potential compared to carbon dioxide nanobubbles. These shifts included enrichment of bacterial taxa associated with nutrient turnover, pollutant degradation, and pathogen suppression, such as
