Dynamic response of growth and organ nutrient allocation in Ochroma lagopus plantations to water-soluble fertilizer frequency in the rainy season.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
As a fast-growing tropical tree species, Ochroma lagopus exhibits rapid growth and high nutrient demand. This study investigated one-year-old Ochroma lagopus trees under four fertilization frequencies: control (CK), high (F1), medium (F2), and low (F3). The research examined how water-soluble fertilizer frequency during the rainy season affects tree growth, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) uptake, stoichiometric ratios, and nutrient allometric relationships among organs, aiming to identify optimal fertilization strategies. Results showed that F2 treatment (500 g/plant every 30 days) produced the most significant height increase at 60, 90, and 120 days after fertilization, with a maximum increase of 26.53% compared to CK. The stable nutrient supply promoted preferential "height growth." In contrast, F3 treatment (500 g/plant every 45 days) achieved a 36.58% increase in diameter over CK. The lower nitrogen supply likely avoided potential inhibition of cambium cell differentiation and lignification caused by excess nitrogen, thereby enhancing stem diameter growth and improving plant stability under stress. Nutrient contents and stoichiometric ratios in organs showed stage-specific variations: at 60 days, a "source organ competition" pattern dominated, prioritizing leaf allocation for photosynthesis; by 90 days, photosynthetic products were transported from leaves to roots via branches, enhancing organ synergy and shifting to "source-sink-translocation coordination"; by 120 days, nutrients accumulated in "sink" organs. Allometric analysis revealed that high-frequency F1 caused inter-organ imbalance and elemental conflict; medium-frequency F2 maintained synergistic balance; while low-frequency F3 promoted a "root nutrient reserve" stress-response strategy. Therefore, for Ochroma lagopus plantations, medium-frequency fertilization (500 g/plant every 30 days) during the rainy season is recommended.
