Effects of Atmospheric Plasma Corona Discharges on Soil Bacteria Viability.
Article in Microorganisms, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Crop contamination by soil-borne pathogenic microorganisms often leads to serious infection outbreaks. Plant protection requires disinfection of agricultural lands. The chemical and the physical disinfection procedures have several disadvantages, including an irreversible change in the soil ecosystem. Plasma, the "fourth state of matter" is defined as an ionized gas containing an equal number of negatively and positively charged particles. Cold-plasma technology with air or oxygen as the working gas generates reactive oxygen species, which are found to efficiently eradicate bacteria. In this study, we examined the effect of atmospheric plasma corona discharges on soil bacteria viability. Soil that was exposed to plasma for 60 s resulted in bacterial reduction by two orders of magnitude, from 1.1 × 10
