Or maybe it improves the air quality by promoting healty green foliage :)

some compounds of nitrogen could have any number of properties and without details the comment is meaningless.

This sounds like all those cleaning products that don't ever use the word "bleach" in their ads (super-oxy-blahblahbla).

There are even differences in detergents. While all that I am aware of are N based, some older technologies may clean injectors at the expense of increasing combustion chamber deposits. Some more advanced chemistries may claim to remove CCDs, but from the data I've seen the effects are modest. Secondary claims on mileage- or power improvement are sometimes made for detergents by inferring IF a car has very dirty injectors then cleaning them will produce slight but measurable improvements in performance. In practice I suspect most of the folks who are interested in performance hop-ups from fuel additives don't have dirty injectors that the products would be effective on. But heck, everybody has to make a living somehow . . .
In any case, gasoline detergents are effective at very low treat rates (ca. 10-50 ppm Nitrogen if memory serves). So treat rates can be boosted significantly without drastically affecting the other fuel properties.

Air is about 780,000 ppm N2. Cetane improvers are used at about 7500 ppm. Gasoline detergents are used at around 20-150 ppm.
