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

Chitosan oligosaccharide, as a soil amendment, is widely used to cope with various environmental stresses. This study comparatively analyzed the effects of chitosan oligosaccharide-based polymer amendment (COS-PA), ACC deaminase-producing bacterial agent (A1), and their combination (COS loaded with ACC deaminase-producing strains, CAS) on cotton vegetative growth under salt stress. The results showed that the application of COS-PA, A1, and CAS significantly reduced soil pH and EC values compared with the control. Numerically, the CAS treatment showed the most significant effects among the treatments, with soil sucrase, urease, and alkaline phosphatase activities 27.84%, 111.4%, and 33.79% higher than those of the control, respectively. Additionally, this treatment also held significantly higher leaf peroxidase and catalase activities and cotton vegetative growth parameters. Microbial analysis showed that CAS mainly improved soil microecology by changing the relative abundance and composition of fungal (Basidiomycota) and bacterial (Atescibacteria and Actinobacteria) communities. In summary, under the specific conditions of this pot experiment, the CAS application was associated with improved soil enzyme activities and cotton growth parameters. Field validation is required. This study provides a reference for the development of new soil amendments and contributes to the sustainable utilization of salinized lands.
