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
Changes in land use types can significantly affect soil porperties and microbial community composition in many areas. However, the underlying mechanism of shift in bacterial communities link to soil properties is still unclear. In this study, Illumina high-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the changes of soil bacterial communities in different land use types in a forest-grassland transition zone, North China. There are two different land use types: grassland (G) and cultivated land (CL). Meanwhile, cultivated land includes cultivated of 10 years (CL10) or 20 years (CL20). Compared with G, CL decreased soil pH, SOC and TN, and significantly increased soil EC, P and K, and soil properties varied significantly with different cultivation years. Grassland reclamation increases the diversity of bacterial communities, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria, Gemmatimonadetes and Bacteroidetes increased, while that of Actinobacteria, Acidobacteria, Rokubacteria and Verrucomicrobia decreased. However, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria decreased and the relative abundance of Chloroflexi and Nitrospirae increased with the increase of cultivated land years. Mantel test and RDA analysis showed that TP, AP, SOC and EC were the main factors affecting the diversity of composition of bacterial communities. In conclusion, soil properties and bacterial communities were significantly altered after long-term cultivation. This study provides data support for land use and grassland ecological protection in this region.
