pH Nonlinearly Dominates Soil Bacterial Community Assembly along an Altitudinal Gradient in Oak-Dominant Forests.
Article in Microorganisms, 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
Soil bacteria, the predominant microbiota in soil, are subject to the law of minimum and the law of tolerance, but the assembly patterns of soil bacteria in response to environmental factors remain far from clear. Here, we took advantage of an altitudinal gradient (1020-1770 asl) in oak-dominant forests and assessed whether soil bacteria linearly or nonlinearly respond to environmental properties through the changes in the community diversity and composition. We found that soil bacteria decreased with increasing altitude in terms of the species richness and phylogenetic structure, while they were unchanged with increasing altitude in terms of community composition. The species richness was nonlinearly affected by the soil pH (19.9%), C:N ratio (14.3%), SOC (11.4%), and silt + clay content (9.9%). Specifically, the species richness peaked at a pH of 5.5-6.5, and an SOC of 25-50 g kg
