The link between antibiotic resistance level and soil physico-chemical properties.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical global health concern. While AMR research has primarily focused on medical and veterinary settings, the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) through natural environments, including soil, remains poorly understood. This study investigates the relationship between soil physico-chemical properties and ARG abundance in environments with varying levels of anthropogenic impact. Soil samples were collected from agricultural fields after harvest (both manured and non-manured, but fertilized with mineral fertilizers) and forests, analyzed for 24 physico-chemical parameters, and subjected to DNA extraction. High-throughput qPCR was used to quantify 27 clinically relevant ARGs and 5 mobile genetic elements (MGEs) in the samples. Results revealed significant differences in soil properties between arable and forest soils, particularly in water content, humus levels, sand and silt proportions, and mercury concentration (
