Metagenomic outlooks of microbial dynamics influenced by organic manure in tea garden soils of North Bengal, India.
Article in Archives of microbiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Soil microbial diversity consisted of both culturable and non-culturable microbes. The cultivated microbes can be identified by conventional microbiological processes. However, that is not possible for the non-culturable ones. In those cases, next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based metagenomics become useful. In this study, we targeted two very popular tea gardens of Darjeeling hills-Makaibari (Mak) and Castleton (Cas). The main difference between these two study areas is the type of manure they use. Mak is solely an organic tea garden using all organic manure and fertilizers whereas Cas uses inorganic pesticides and fertilizers. The main aim was to compare the effect of organic manure over chemical fertilizers on the soil microbiomes. We have performed the 16 s metagenomics analysis based on the V3-V4 region. Downstream bioinformatics analysis including reverse ecology was performed. We found that the overall microbial diversity is higher in Mak compared to Cas. Moreover, the use of organic manure has reduced the population of pathogenic bacteria in Mak soil when compared to Cas soil. From the observations made through the metagenomics analysis of Mak and Cas soil samples, we may conclude that the application of organic manure supports the population of good bacteria in the soil which may eventually impact the tea garden workers' health.
