Effects of biochar addition on aeolian soil microbial community assembly and structure.
Article in Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The effects of biochar on soil improvement have been widely confirmed, but its influence on soil microorganisms is still unclear. Elucidating the complex relationship and the community assembly processes of microorganisms under biochar addition is important to understand the ecological effects of this substance. We performed a one-time addition of biochar on aeolian soils and planted maize (Zea mays L.) continuously for 7 years. Afterwards, soil samples were collected, and the 16S/ITS rRNA gene sequencing technology was used to study changes in microbial community structure, network characteristics, and community assembly processes in the aeolian soils. We found that biochar addition significantly increased the maize yield and changed the soil microbial community composition (β-diversity), but had no significant effect on the microbial α-diversity.
