Spatial Heterogeneity in Soil Microbial Communities Impacts Their Suitability as Bioindicators for Evaluating Productivity in Agricultural Practices.

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 microorganisms are increasingly recognized as critical regulators of farmland soil fertility and crop productivity. However, the impacts of spatial heterogeneity in soil microbial communities on bioindicators for evaluating agricultural practices remain poorly understood and warrant further validation. Through field experiments, this study investigated the differential effects of agricultural practice treatments on soil properties and bacterial communities between two main farmland soil compartments: intra-row and inter-row. Additionally, we explored the potential correlations between key taxa and soil properties, as well as maize biomass. Results revealed marked disparities in soil properties, bacterial community compositions, and co-occurrence network patterns between intra-row and inter-row soils. Agricultural practice treatments exerted significant impacts on bacterial community structures and network topological features in both intra-row and inter-row soils. Subsequent correlation analysis demonstrated strong relationships between soil properties and most keystone species. In addition, 42 and 41 indicator species were identified in intra-row and inter-row soils, respectively, including shared genera such as
