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

Karst tiankeng is a typical terrestrial habitat island-like system, known as an oasis in a degraded karst landscape. However, we know little about the composition, structure, and life strategies of soil microbial communities in the karst tiankeng ecosystem. In this study, we use amplicon sequencing to investigate the soil bacteria and fungi of 26 karst tiankeng in two typical karst tiankeng groups. The results showed that the composition and structure of bacterial and fungal communities were significantly different at two dimensions (among and within the karst tiankeng group). Bacteria showed more sensitivity to variation in the karst tiankeng area and isolation than fungi. With the increase of karst tiankeng area and isolation, the bacterial life strategies shift from IMPORTANCE: These findings highlight that habitat loss or fragmentation induces a shift in microbial life strategies and improves our understanding of the composition and biogeography of karst ecosystem microorganisms.
