Relationship between root system-soil C:N:P and soil microbial diversity at different evolutionary stages of
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Scrub root systems play a crucial role in preventing soil erosion and nutrient loss. However, the effects of the root system configuration on soil nutrient dynamics and microbial changes at various evolutionary stages remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the relationship between soil physical and chemical properties and the diversity of bacteria and fungi throughout the evolutionary stages of the scrub root systems. This was achieved through a combination of whole-root excavation and root tracing techniques. The results indicated that root diameter was the main factor contributing to the continuous increase in carbon (C): phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N): P ratios as the scrub sand pile developed. The soil organic carbon (SOC), total soil nitrogen (TN), and total soil phosphorus (TP) contents in the soil in the four evolutionary stages were the highest during the developmental stage, but the change in TP content was not statistically significant (
