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
This study investigates the effect of biochar amendment on microbial community structure and soil nutrient status in paddy soil that has been fertilized for an extended period of time, shedding light on sustainable agricultural practices. A 90-day incubation period revealed that biochar amendment, as opposed to long-term fertilization, significantly influenced the physicochemical properties and microbial composition of the soil. The microcosm experiment conducted using six treatments analyzed soil samples from a long-term rice ecosystem. We employed microbial biomarkers (phospholipid fatty acids, PLFAs; isoprenoid and branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers, iGDGTs and brGDGTs; DNA) to assess microbial biomass and community structure. Biochar addition led to a decrease in PLFA biomass (15-32%) and archaeal iGDGT abundance (14-43%), while enhancing bacterial brGDGT abundance by 15-77%. Intact biochar increased archaeal and bacterial diversity, though fungal diversity remained unchanged. However, acid-washed biochar did not result in a uniform microbial diversity response. The abundance of various microbial taxa was changed by biochar amendment, including Crenarchaeota, Proteobacteria, Nitrospira, Basidiomycota, Halobacterota, Chloroflexi, Planctomycetota, and Ascomycota.
