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
The relative functional importance of rare and abundant species in driving relationships between biodiversity and ecosystem functions (BEF) remains unknown. Here, we investigated the functional roles of rare and abundant species diversity (multitrophic soil organism groups) on multifunctionality derived from 16 ecosystem functions in 228 agricultural fields relating to soil and crop health. The results revealed that the diversity of rare species, rather than of abundant species, was positively related to multifunctionality. Abundant taxa tended to maintain a larger number of functions than rare taxa, while rare subcommunity contributed more phylotypes supporting to the single ecosystem functions. Community assembly processes were closely related to the ecosystem functional performance of soil biodiversity, only observed in rare subcommunity. Higher relative contributions of stochastic assembly processes promoted the positive effects of diversity of rare taxa on multifunctionality, while reducing their diversity and multifunctionality overall. Our results highlight the importance of rare species for ecosystem multifunctionality and elucidate the linkage between ecological assembly processes and BEF relationships.
