A global dataset of gross nitrogen transformation rates across terrestrial ecosystems.
Article in Scientific data, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Rates of nitrogen transformations support quantitative descriptions and predictive understanding of the complex nitrogen cycle, but measuring these rates is expensive and not readily available to researchers. Here, we compiled a dataset of gross nitrogen transformation rates (GNTR) of mineralization, nitrification, ammonium immobilization, nitrate immobilization, and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium in terrestrial ecosystems. Data were extracted from 331 studies published from 1984-2022, covering 581 sites. Globally, 1552 observations were appended with standardized soil, vegetation, and climate data (49 variables in total) potentially contributing to the observed variations of GNTR. We used machine learning-based data imputation to fill in partially missing GNTR, which improved statistical relationships between theoretically correlated processes. The dataset is currently the most comprehensive overview of terrestrial ecosystem GNTR and serves as a global synthesis of the extent and variability of GNTR across a wide range of environmental conditions. Future research can utilize the dataset to identify measurement gaps with respect to climate, soil, and ecosystem types, delineate GNTR for certain ecoregions, and help validate process-based models.
