Changes to bacterial communities and soil metabolites in an apple orchard as a legacy effect of different intercropping plants and soil management practices.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Intercropping is an important soil management practice for increasing orchard productivity and land-use efficiency because it has beneficial effects on soil microbial communities and soil properties. However, there is relatively little information available regarding the effects of different crops/grasses on soil microbial communities and soil metabolic products in apple orchards in arid and semi-arid regions. In this study, we showed the microbial communities of apple, intercropping plants, and sandy waste soil, using the third-generation PacBio SMRT long-read sequencing technology. Our results also revealed that the microbial communities and soil metabolic properties differed significantly between apple and the sandy waste soil and the intercropping plants. Intercropping could significantly enrich diverse microbial species, microbial nitrogen, and microbial carbon of soil. Moreover, intercropping with licorice showed better effects in recruiting beneficial microbes, compared to grass and pepper, significantly enriching species belonging to some well-known taxa with beneficial effects, including
