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

The makeup of soil microbial communities may serve as a crucial predictor of the alpine grassland ecosystem. Climate change and human disturbance have resulted in intensified ecosystem degradation, such as grassland rocky desertification, which may modify the structures and composition of the microorganisms. However, little is known about the effects of rocky desertification on soil microbial communities of soil. Here, we investigated five different layers of rocky desertification grassland in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, including nil rock desertification (NRD); potential rocky desertification (PRD); light rocky desertification (LRD); moderate rocky desertification (MRD); and severe rocky desertification (SRD), we compared soil bacterial community with soil physiochemical properties in different rocky desertification conditions. The result showed that rocky desertification significantly altered the physiochemical properties of the soil but did not significantly affect the bacterial community microbial abundance and diversity. At the same time as rocky desertification increased, soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), alkali hydrolyzable nitrogen (AN), available phosphorus (AP), and available potassium (AK) decreased significantly, while soil pH, total phosphorus (TP); and total potassium (TK) increased. Redundancy analysis revealed that pH, AK, TP, and SOC are key factors influencing soil bacterial communities. Our finding provides basic information and scientific reference for the restoration of the rocky desertification of alpine grasslands.
