Effects of topography on soil and litter mites (Acari: Oribatida, Mesostigmata) in a tropical monsoon forest in Southern Vietnam.

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
The effects of topographic variables (elevation above sea level, slope position, topographic (wetness) index, and global solar radiation) on mite abundances and on quantitative composition of Oribatida communities in soil and litter have been studied in six sites along a hill slope in a tropical lowland forest in the Bu Gia Map National Park, Southern Vietnam. A positive relationship existed between abundance and species richness of Oribatida in soil cores, and global solar radiation (W h m(-2)) which quantifies the total sun energy available to the local ecosystem. There was no significant relationship between abundance of Mesostigmata and topographic variables. The Oribatida community composition in soil and in litter was significantly different, with a large number of species unique to either litter or soil. The canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) showed that the topographic variables together explained 75% (in litter) and 83% (in soil) of the variation in Oribatida community structure. The species-topography relationship was globally significant in the litter, weaker in the soil; the eigenvalue of the CCA axis 1 (related to elevation and global solar radiation) was significant in both substrates. CCA ordinations identified groups of species associated with high landscape positions (hill crest, high elevation, high global solar radiation) versus species associated with low-lying landscape positions, where moisture tends to accumulate (hill footslope, low elevation, low solar radiation, high topographic index values). The importance of relief and geographical position for soil Oribatida is discussed.
