Spatiotemporal patterns and drivers of soil organic carbon in black soil landscapes of Northeast China.
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 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 Organic Carbon (SOC) is crucial for soil health, agricultural productivity, and climate regulation. This study examines the temporal and spatial changes in SOC over a decade (2013-2023) in the Tongken River Basin, a key area within the black soil region of Northeast China. Using machine learning techniques and advanced spatial mapping techniques, the study identified temperature, precipitation, and soil managements as key drivers of SOC dynamics. The results revealed a significant increase in SOC content from 2.99% to 3.25%, and SOC density rose from 7.08 kg/m² to 7.72 kg/m², with precipitation exerting the strongest positive influence. These findings highlight the potential of climate-smart land-use strategies to enhance SOC storage and mitigate soil degradation. This research provides valuable insights for sustainable soil management and climate adaptation efforts in vulnerable agricultural regions.
