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

Algae exert great impact on soil formation and biogeochemical cycling. However, there is no full understanding of the response of soil algal community structure to the seasonal fluctuations in temperature and moisture and changes of soil physicochemical properties across different forests. Here, based on 23S rRNA gene sequencing, we analyzed soil algal community structure in four different forest plantations in two seasons and examined soil physiochemical properties. The results showed the significantly seasonal variation in soil algal community structure, with the higher overall diversity in summer than in winter. In addition, there existed significant correlations between soil algae (species composition, relative abundance, diversity index) and physicochemical properties (pH, total phosphorus, organic matter and nitrate nitrogen), suggesting that edaphic characteristics are also largely responsible for the variation in soil algal community. Nevertheless, the seasonal variation in algal community structure was greater than the variation across different forest plantations. This suggest temperature and moisture are more important than soil physicochemical properties in determining soil algal community structure. The findings of the present study enhance our understanding of the algal communities in forest ecosystems and are of great significance for the management and protection of algal ecosystem.
