Response of the metabolic activity and taxonomic composition of bacterial communities to mosaically varying soil salinity and alkalinity.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Soil salinity and sodicity is a worldwide problem that affects the composition and activity of bacterial communities and results from elevated salt and sodium contents. Depending on the degree of environmental pressure and the combined effect of other factors, haloalkalitolerant and haloalkaliphilic bacterial communities will be selected. These bacteria play a potential role in the maintenance and restoration of salt-affected soils; however, until recently, only a limited number of studies have simultaneously studied the bacterial diversity and activity of saline-sodic soils. Soil samples were collected to analyse and compare the taxonomic composition and metabolic activity of bacteria from four distinct natural plant communities at three soil depths corresponding to a salinity‒sodicity gradient. Bacterial diversity was detected using 16S rRNA gene Illumina MiSeq amplicon sequencing. Community-level physiological profiles (CLPPs) were analysed using the MicroResp™ method. The genus-level bacterial composition and CLPPs differed significantly in soils with different alkaline vegetation. The surface soil samples also significantly differed from the intermediate and deep soil samples. The results showed that the pH, salt content, and Na
