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

The water regime is often the primary force driving the evolution of freshwater lakes, but how soil microbes responded to this process is far from understood. This study sampled wetland soils from a shallow lake that experienced water regime changes, Poyang Lake of China, to explore the features of bacterial and fungal community in response to water level changes. The soil physicochemical properties, T-RFLP based community structures and soil activities (including basal respiration, microbial biomass and enzymes) were all determined. Soil microbial eco-function was captured by testing the carbon metabolism with Biolog-Ecoplate. The results showed remarkable influence of the water level gradients on the soil physicochemical properties, microbial community structures and soil activities. However, the carbon utilization profile exhibited weak connections with the environmental variables and microbial community structures (p > 0.05). The microbial activities were significantly correlated with both bacterial and fungal community structures. Our results also emphasized the ascendant role of the deterministic process in the assemblages of microbial community structures and functions in wetland. In conclusion, this study revealed the discrepancy between community structures and eco-functions in response to water level gradients, and a relatively stable eco-function helped to maintain the ecosystem function of wetland from a long-term perspective.
