Interactive Effects of Precipitation and Nitrogen on Soil Microbial Communities in a Desert Ecosystem.
Article in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Increased precipitation and nitrogen (N) deposition critically influence ecological processes and stability in desert ecosystems. Studying how the soil microbial community responds to these climatic changes will improve our understanding of the impacts of climate changes on arid environments. Therefore, we conducted a field experiment in the Gurbantunggut Desert, applying phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis to assess the responses of soil microbial community to climate change. We found that in years with normal precipitation, increased precipitation promoted soil bacterial growth, whereas in drought years, increased N deposition promoted soil bacterial growth more effectively. Although soil microbial diversity did not change significantly overall, it decreased with increasing N deposition. Random forest analysis and linear regression analysis indicated that soil pH and microbial biomass carbon (MBC) were the main drivers for the changes in soil microbial community. Structural equation modeling (SEM) further revealed that increased precipitation increased soil Gram-positive bacteria (G
