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

Fertilization is crucial for enhancing soil fertility and crop yields, primarily by modifying soil physicochemical properties and microbial communities, which subsequently influence soil carbon storage. Due to the unique flooded conditions of rice cultivation, paddy soils exhibit distinct microbial compositions and carbon storage mechanisms compared to upland soils. However, indiscriminate fertilization, without a thorough understanding of the underlying soil carbon pool storage and turnover mechanisms, not only yields suboptimal results but also poses environmental risks. Currently, a comprehensive literature review exploring the impacts of fertilization on crop growth and soil fertility accumulation mechanisms within rice cultivation systems remains lacking. This review summarizes the nutrient characteristics and turnover mechanisms in paddy soils, revealing slower organic matter turnover and stable soil organic carbon due to the unique paddy soil anaerobic environment. Microbial mineralization and organic matter accumulation vary with the planting cycle. We discuss the impacts of fertilization on soil fertility and microbial communities, highlighting the superior and more environmentally friendly effects of organic fertilizers. Importantly, a saturation threshold exists for soil carbon storage; exceeding this limit renders fertilization ineffective. Appropriate fertilizer application positively impacts microbial communities by modifying soil pH and physicochemical properties. Furthermore, this paper elaborates on the mechanisms of microbial-mediated carbon sequestration and its influencing factors. Future research leveraging a clear understanding of paddy soil nutrient mechanisms should integrate synthetic biology, materials engineering, and data-driven intelligent decision-making systems. This approach promises to be an effective pathway toward achieving intelligent, green, and high-yielding rice cultivation.
