Characteristics and factors influencing soil organic carbon composition by vegetation type in spoil heaps.

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
Introduction: The variation of organic carbon content in spoil heaps is closely related to improving soil structure, maintaining soil fertility, and regulating soil carbon cycling balance. Analyzing the soil organic carbon content and related driving factors during the natural vegetation restoration process of spoil heaps is of great significance for promoting the accumulation of soil organic carbon in the spoil heaps. Methods: we selected spoil heaps with the same number of years of restoration to research the variations in soil organic carbon components under different vegetation types (grassland: GL, shrubland: SL, secondary forest: SF) and compared the results with those on bare land (BL). Results: Our results showed that vegetation type and soil depth significantly affect the content of soil organic carbon components. There was no difference in soil organic carbon components between SF and SL, but both were considerably superior to GL and BL ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that vegetation restoration can significantly increase soil organic carbon content, FRB, AK, and TN play important roles in enhancing soil organic carbon. Supplementation with nitrogen and potassium should be considered in the bare land stage, and shrubs nitrogen-fixing functions and well-developed roots are more beneficial for the accumulation of soil organic carbon.
