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

Microbial processes play a central role in controlling the availability of N in temperate forests. While bacteria, archaea, and fungi account for major inputs, transformations, and exports of N in soil, relationships between microbial community structure and N cycle fluxes have been difficult to detect and characterize. Several studies have reported differences in N cycling based on mycorrhizal type in temperate forests, but associated differences in N cycling genes underlying these fluxes are not well-understood. We explored how rates of soil N cycle fluxes vary across gradients of mycorrhizal abundance (hereafter "mycorrhizal gradients") at four temperate forest sites in Massachusetts and Indiana, USA. We paired measurements of N-fixation, net nitrification, and denitrification rates with gene abundance data for specific bacterial functional groups associated with each process. We find that the availability of NO
