Identification of bacteria and fungi responsible for litter decomposition in desert steppes via combined DNA stable isotope probing.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2024. 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
Introduction: Soil microorganisms play crucial roles in determining the fate of litter in desert steppes because their activities constitute a major component of the global carbon (C) cycle. Human activities lead to increased ecosystem nitrogen (N) deposition, which has unpredictable impacts on soil microorganism diversity and functions. Nowadays, it is necessary to further study the succession of these microorganisms in the process of litter decomposition in desert steppe, and explore the effect of N deposition on this process. This issue is particularly important to resolve because it contributes to the broader understanding of nutrient cycling processes in desert steppes. Methods: In this study, DNA stable isotope probing (DNA-SIP) was used to study changes in soil bacterial and fungal community composition and function during 8 weeks of culture of Results: The results were as follows: (1) Discussion: These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the C assimilation mechanisms associated with litter residue production, emphasizing the importance of extensive C utilization.
