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

Soil microbial community assembly is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of microbial communities that regulate ecosystem-level functioning. The relative contributions of stochastic and deterministic processes to microbial community assembly remain poorly defined, and major questions exist concerning the soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics of microbial community assembly in deep soil. Here, the bacterial community assembly processes were explored across five soil profile depths (up to 80 cm) during a 15-year field experiment involving four fertilization regimes. We found that the bacterial community assembly was initially governed by deterministic selection in topsoil but was progressively structured by increasing stochastic dispersal with depth. The migration rate (
