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

Soil erosion is a serious environmental problem that leads to land degradation and ecological imbalance, thereby eliciting extensive and profound worldwide concern. Biological soil crusts (biocrusts) play a crucial role in soil stabilization; however, the underlying microbial enzymatic mechanisms remain poorly understood. The present study aimed to characterize carbonatogenic bacteria and investigate the role of their carbonic anhydrase-induced carbonate crystals in promoting soil shear strength within biocrusts. The results demonstrated a significant increase in the activity of carbonic anhydrase during biocrust formation and development (
