Diversity and Key Organisms in the Biocrust of a Tropical Granite-Gneiss Rocky Outcrop.
Article in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Rocky outcrops are harsh habitats that support specialized organisms and communities, including biocrusts, which play roles in soil stabilization, water retention, and nutrient cycling. Despite their importance, tropical biocrusts, particularly in granite-gneiss formations, remain underexplored. This study examines biocrust composition in a granite-gneiss outcrop in a rural landscape in Southeastern Brazil, identifying microhabitats and analyzing co-occurrence patterns and community structure. We recorded eleven bryophyte species and one diatom species, while six cyanobacteria, three charophytes, and two chlorophytes were identified at the genus level. They were found in shallow depressions, though termite mounds also served as an important microhabitat. The cyanobacterium
