Biotic and abiotic factors affecting soil microbial carbon use efficiency.
Review 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 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 microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) refers to the efficiency of microorganisms in converting absorbed carbon into their own biomass carbon. Soil microbial CUE is a key parameter to understanding the soil carbon cycle. Biotic and abiotic factors are widely considered to be important factors influencing CUE. However, the related underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This review elaborates on the concept of soil microbial CUE and the various approaches used for its measurement. We reviewed the effects of various abiotic factors, such as temperature, soil moisture, pH, nutrient addition, and substrate type, and biotic factors, such as microbial community structure and diversity, on CUE. Finally, we discussed the focus areas that future studies need to further explore. We hope this review can provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors impacting soil microbial CUE, which is a fundamental step to improving soil carbon storage capacity.
