Microbial community succession mediated by planting patterns in the Loess Plateau, China: Implications for ecological restoration.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Microbial community succession plays a key role in restoring fragile ecosystems and mitigating ecological degradation. However, the mechanisms by which vegetation restoration promotes ecological restoration and microbial community reconstruction in degraded soils remain unclear. This study utilized metagenomic high-throughput sequencing technology to analyze microbial community dynamics in soil samples collected from eight different planting patterns in the ecologically degraded areas of the Chinese Loess Plateau. The results indicated significant effects of terrain location and restorative cropping patterns on soil microbial abundance and function. In particular, soil C and N nutrient abundance was highest in mixed forest soils, and the total number of microorganisms was highest and more diverse. Therefore, through vegetation restoration, mixed forests significantly enhanced regional ecological functions. Notably, creating mixed forests with both trees and shrubs resulted in optimal ecological functions, providing a valuable direction for vegetation construction and structural optimization in the region.
