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

Munition disposal practices have significant effects on microbial composition and overall soil health. Explosive soil contamination can disrupt microbial communities, leading to microbial abundance and richness changes. This study investigates the microbial diversity of soils and roots from sites with a history of ammunition disposal, aiming to identify organisms that may play a role in bioremediation. Soil and root samples were collected from two types of ammunition disposal (through open burning and open detonation) and unpolluted sites in Machachi, Ecuador, over two years (2022 and 2023). High-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene (for bacteria) and the ITS region (for fungi and plants) was conducted to obtain taxonomic profiles. There were significant variations in the composition of bacteria, fungi, and plant communities between polluted and unpolluted sites. Bacterial genera such as
