Nitrogen-shaped microbiotas with nutrient competition accelerate early-stage residue decomposition in agricultural soils.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Plant residue decomposition is critical for carbon cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Nitrogen (N) availability alters this process through orchestrating the microbial community, yet the mechanisms remain elusive. By investigating the wheat residue decomposition process and the microbial succession under different N input levels in agricultural fields, we find that higher N availability accelerates residue breakdown mainly at the early stage by promoting the rapid colonization of a soil-derived microbial consortium with key interactions. Metabolic potential evaluations show that the Bacillus decomposers harbor diverse carbohydrate-active enzymes that degrade cellulose and hemicellulose, whereas the non-decomposer Staphylococcus sciuri efficiently transports and consumes downstream sugar products. Synthetic communities combined with omics techniques confirm that the N-enriched non-decomposer S. sciuri restricts the growth of weak decomposers through sugar depletion, thereby restructuring the community dominated by strong decomposers. This shift increases the residue decomposition rate by 16.77% under N fertilization. Our results highlight the important role of usually overlooked fast-growing non-decomposers in agricultural soil carbon cycling.
