Local Geomorphological Gradients and Land Use Patterns Play Key Role on the Soil Bacterial Community Diversity and Dynamics in the Highly Endemic Indigenous Afrotemperate Coastal Scarp Forest Biome.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Southern Afrotemperate forests are small multi-layered and highly fragmented biodiversity rich biomes that support unique flora and fauna endemism. However, little is known about the microbial community and their contribution to these ecosystems. In this study, high throughput sequencing analysis was used to investigate the soil bacterial community structure and function, and understand the effect of local topography/geomorphological formations and land use patterns on a coastal scarp forest. Soil samples were collected from three forest topography sites: upper (steeper gradients, 30-55°; open canopy cover, <30%), mid (less steep, 15-30°; continuous forest canopy, >80%), and lower (flatter gradient, <15°; open canopy cover, 20-65%), and from the adjacent sugarcane farms. Results indicated that forest soils were dominated by members of phyla
