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

Biological nitrogen (N) fixation (BNF) via diazotrophs is an important ecological process for the conversion of atmospheric N to biologically available N. Although soil diazotrophs play a dominant role in BNF and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) serve as helpers to favor BNF, the response of soil BNF and diazotrophic communities to different long-term fertilizations and the role of AMF in diazotrophs-driven BNF are poorly understood. Herein, a 33-year fertilization experiment in a wheat-maize intercropping system was conducted to investigate the changes in soil BNF rates, diazotrophic and AMF communities, and their interactions after long-term representative fertilization (chemical fertilizer, cow manure, wheat straw, and green manure). We found a remarkable increase in soil BNF rates after more than three decades of fertilization compared with nonfertilized soil, and the green manure treatment rendered the highest enhancement. The functionality strengthening was mainly associated with the increase in the absolute abundance of diazotrophs and AMF and the relative abundance of the key ecological cluster of Module #0 (gained from the co-occurrence network of diazotrophic and AMF species) with dominant diazotrophs such as
