1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 alpine meadow on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, which is susceptible to global climate change and human activities, is subject to nutrient addition such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to enhance soil available nutrients and ecosystem productivity. Soil bacterial community partly drivers the effects of nutrient additions on ecosystem processes, whereas the factors influencing N and P additions on bacterial community in alpine meadows are not well documented. We conducted a N and P addition experiment in an alpine meadow ecosystem on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau with four treatments: untreated control (CK), N addition (N), P addition (P), and NP addition (NP). We employed a high-throughput Illumina Miseq sequencing technology to investigate the response of soil bacterial community to short-term N and P additions. N and P additions decreased soil bacterial richness (OTU numbers and Chao 1 index), and P addition decreased soil bacterial diversity (Shannon and Simpson indices). N addition directly induced the change of soil
