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

Thawing permafrost soils are predicted to release substantial amounts of carbon by 2100. In addition to this, warming-induced active-layer deepening and increased rooting depth may result in further carbon losses from previously-frozen soil by stimulating microbial communities through fresh carbon inputs inducing positive rhizosphere priming. While models based on temperate data predict significant permafrost carbon loss through rhizosphere priming, data from permafrost soils are lacking. Here, we provide direct evidence of live plant-induced positive rhizosphere priming in permafrost and active-layer soils across diverse soil types from Arctic and Subarctic Canada. By
