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

Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) are crucial for enhancing phosphorus bioavailability and regulating phosphorus transformation processes. However, the in situ phosphorus-solubilizing activity and the link between phenotypes and genotypes for PSB remain unidentified. Here we employed single-cell Raman spectroscopy combined with heavy water to discern and quantify soil active PSB. Our results reveal that PSB abundance and in situ activity differed significantly between soil types and fertilization treatments. Inorganic fertilizer input was the key driver for active PSB distribution. Targeted single-cell sorting and metagenomic sequencing of active PSB uncovered several low-abundance genera that are easily overlooked within bulk soil microbiota. We elucidate the underlying functional genes and metabolic pathway, and the interplay between phosphorus and carbon cycling involved in high phosphorus solubilization activity. Our study provides a single-cell approach to exploring PSB from native environments, enabling the development of a microbial solution for the efficient agronomic use of phosphorus and mitigating the phosphorus crisis.
