Sulfamethoxazole affects the microbial composition and antibiotic resistance gene abundance in soil and accumulates in lettuce.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Pot experiments were set up to simulate the soil contamination by three initial concentrations of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) (S1, 100 mg/kg; S2, 200 mg/kg; S3, 300 mg/kg). The content of SMX in soil and its accumulation in lettuce were analysed. Additionally, the effects of SMX on soil microorganisms and antibiotic resistance genes were studied by Illumina high-throughput sequencing and droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR). The results demonstrated that the SMX content in soil reduced by 97%, 86% and 75% in the S1, S2 and S3 treatment groups after 120 days, respectively. The accumulated SMX in lettuce was positively correlated with the initial concentration of SMX in soil. SMX contamination significantly reduced the bacterial diversity and altered the composition of bacterial and fungal communities in soil. The dominant bacterial and fungal genera in the SMX-contaminated soil were obviously different from those in the control soil. The relative abundance of sul1 (sulfonamide resistance gene) remarkably increased in the SMX-contaminated soil, while that of other ARGs, such as sul2 and tetracycline and quinolone resistance genes, showed no significant change.
