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
Seagrass meadows have seriously deteriorated in recent years. Seagrass associated phytate-mineralizing rhizobacteria potentially have functions related to seagrass nutrition, health and sustainable growth. The β-propeller phytases (BPPs) are the only phytase family in aquatic environments, but there are few studies on the BPP community structure of seagrass. In this study, clone libraries and quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays were used to compare the diversity and abundances of the BPP communities of Halodule endl, Halophila ovalis and Thalassia hemprichii in Xisha and Sanya, and to investigate the distribution characteristics of BPP genes in the rhizosphere sediment, which provedes insight into species specialty from phytic mineralization in subtropical and tropical seagrass ecosystems. The highest diversity of BPP genes was found for Thalassia hemprichii in Sanya Bay. Thalassia hemprichii in Sanya had higher abundances of BPPs, which were linked to Gammaproteobacteria. The BPP community diversity and OTUs of Thalassia hemprichii in Sanya were much higher than those of Thalassia hemprichii on Yongxing Island and Stone Island. The seagrass BPP communities had higher diversity and evenness from sampling sites with more human activity. The qPCR results showed that the abundance of phytate acid-degradating bacteria was approximately three times larger in Thalassia hemprichii rhizosphere sediment samples than in Halodule endl and Halophila ovalis rhizosphere sediment samples. This study highlighted that the diversity and abundances of bacteria genetically encoding BPP in the rhizosphere of Thalassia hemprichii were clearly higher than those of Halodule endl and Halophila ovalis. Further study of microbial phosphorus cycling will provide new insights into seagrass meadow ecosystems.
