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 compost microbiome is important in regulating soil carbon sequestration. However, there is limited information concerning phage communities and phage-encoded auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) in compost-applied soils. We combined metagenomics and meta-viromes to explore the potential role of bacterial and phage communities in carbon sequestration in the compost microbiome. The experiment comprised swine manure compost (SW) and vermicompost (VE) applied to the soil along with a control treatment (CK). The bacterial community richness decreased after swine manure application and increased after vermicomposting compared to the control treatment. The phage community in the vermicompost-applied soil was dominated (63.1%) by temperate phages. In comparison, the communities of the swine manure compost-applied soil (92.7%) and control treatments (75.4%) were dominated by virulent phages. Phage-encoded carbon sequestration AMGs were detected in all three treatments, with significant enrichment in the vermicompost-applied soil. The average carbon sequestration potential (the coverage ratio of phage AMGs:total genes) of phage AMGs (
