Nitrogen Fertilization Shapes Soil Microbial Diversity and Ecosystem Multifunctionality by Modulating Soil Nutrients.
Article in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Soil microbial communities play an important role in driving diverse ecosystem functions and ecological processes and are the main driving force for maintaining biogeochemical cycles. To investigate the effects of nitrogen fertilizer addition on soil microbial community characteristics and ecosystem multifunctionality in alfalfa fields, a field experiment was conducted in the semi-arid region of the Loess Plateau. Ecological network analysis revealed a strong cooperative relationship among bacterial community species under the N100 treatment, while a strong competitive relationship was observed among fungal community species under the N50 treatment. Furthermore, compared with the control check, the soil carbon nutrient function, ecosystem multifunctionality and grassland productivity of N150 treatment increased by 45.17%, 34.01%, and 7.92%, while the soil phosphorus function decreased by 13.44%. Additionally, soil pH significantly influences ecosystem multifunctionality, soil carbon nutrient function, and grassland productivity. Soil water content notably affects the soil phosphorus nutrient function, while soil microbial diversity has a significant impact on grassland productivity and soil potassium nutrient function. The above results suggest that alterations in soil nutrient levels influence ecosystem multifunctionality by regulating microbial community diversity, offering new insights into the mechanisms by which nutrients impact soil microbial communities and ecosystem properties.
