Litter Mixing Alters Microbial Decomposer Community to Accelerate Tomato Root Litter Decomposition.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 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
Mixing plant litters of multiple species can alter litter decomposition, a key driver of carbon and nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Changes in microbial decomposer communities is proposed as one of the mechanisms explaining this litter-mixture effect, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. In a microcosm litterbag experiment, we found that, at the early stage of decomposition, litter mixing promoted tomato root litter decomposition, thus generating a synergistic nonadditive litter-mixture effect. The transplanting decomposer community experiment showed that changes in microbial decomposer communities contributed to the nonadditive litter-mixture effect on tomato root litter decomposition. Moreover, litter mixing altered the abundance and diversity of bacterial and fungal communities on tomato root litter. Litter mixing also stimulated several putative keystone operational taxonomic units (OTUs) in the microbial correlation network, such as Fusarium sp. fOTU761 and Microbacterium sp. bOTU6632. Then, we isolated and cultured representative isolates of these two taxa, named Fusarium sp. F13 and Microbacterium sp. B26. Subsequent
