Iron's role in soil organic carbon (de)stabilization in mangroves under land use change.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Mangroves are coastal hotspots for carbon storage and yet face multiple threats from anthropogenic activities. Here we explore the role of iron-mediated organomineral interactions (FeOMIs) in soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilization and their sensitivity to land use change (LUC) in Amazonian mangroves. We show that Fe oxides protect more labile SOC fractions, which would otherwise be vulnerable to biological degradation, with poorly crystalline Fe oxides being the most effective phase for SOC retention. Despite the fragile equilibrium of FeOMI under dynamic redox conditions in mangroves, this balance sustains approximately 8% of total SOC. The studied LUC scenario led to massive loss of FeOMIs as less crystalline phases were either degraded or transformed into more crystalline ones, losing the efficiency in retaining SOC. The conversion of mangroves to pastures and shrimp ponds, which are pervasive globally, triggers important biogeochemical changes, with major implications for the carbon sequestration potential of mangrove soils.
