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
The impact of different vegetation types on soil organic carbon (SOC) is a key focus in global warming research. Bryophytes, commonly found in karst urban forests, significantly contribute to carbon accumulation in surface soil. However, the changes in soil organic carbon fractions under moss and the influencing factors remain unclear. To address this knowledge gap, the study examined the organic carbon content, soil physicochemical properties, and associated environmental factors in both moss-covered soil and bare soil under six different forest species within an urban park. The results showed that the SOC contents under moss cover in evergreen coniferous forest (127.28 g/kg), bamboo forest (144.70 g/kg), deciduous broad-leaved forest (87.63 g/kg), and evergreen shrub (109.28 g/kg) were significantly higher compared to bare soil. Moss cover also had a significant impact on soil readily oxidizable carbon (ROC), particulate organic carbon (POC), mineral-associated organic carbon (MOC), and heavy fraction organic carbon (HFOC) (P < 0.01). The soil under moss had a higher content of stable organic carbon fraction, which is conducive to the stability of the soil organic carbon pool. The interaction between moss cover and stand type had the most significant effect on soil organic carbon, especially in bamboo forests. Canopy density, moss biomass, and soil moisture were the main environmental factors affecting the content of soil organic carbon and its fractions, while soil organic carbon content was mainly affected by soil nitrogen and phosphorus. This study establishes a theoretical framework for investigating the carbon cycle in karst urban underforest ecosystems, offering a scientific basis for the management and preservation of urban green space ecosystems. Future studies should include bryophytes in the assessment of dynamic factors affecting the soil carbon pool under forest cover and further explore the function and ecological significance of bryophytes in understory ecosystems.
