Application of compost amended with biochar on the distribution of antibiotic resistance genes in a soil-cucumber system-from the perspective of high-dose fertilization.

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
The transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) from soils to vegetables negatively impacts human health. This study explored the effects of the high-dose (18.73 t/ha) application of traditional compost (TC) and composts produced through the co-composting of traditional materials with large-sized (5-10 mm) biochar-amended compost (LBTC) or small-sized (< 0.074 mm) biochar-amended compost (SBTC) on the distribution of ARGs in a soil-cucumber system were explored. Results indicated that the SBTC group had the highest soil nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium contents, followed by the LBTC, TC, and control treatment groups. These findings aligned with the quality and weight of harvested cucumbers. Bacterial community diversity decreased in compost-fertilized soils. Compared with their preexperimental values in soils, the total absolute abundances of ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) increased by 23.88 and 6.66 times, respectively, in the control treatment group; by 5.59 and 5.23 times, respectively, in the TC group; by 5.50 and 1.81 times, respectively, in the LBTC group; and by 5.49 and 0.47 times, respectively, in the SBTC group. Compared with those in the control treatment group, the absolute abundance of
