Bacterial communities profiles of soil in Hulu Langat recreational parks, Selangor.
Article in BMC research notes, 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
objectiveRecreational Park soils with higher human disturbance harbor a more diverse bacterial communities, including genera associated with opportunistic pathogens. This raises concerns about the potential transmission of soil-borne diseases such as leptospirosis and melioidosis. Despite this, microbial compositions within specific environments remain poorly understood. This study investigates the diversity and profiles of bacterial communities across four recreational areas in Hulu Langat, Selangor, using 16 S rRNA gene metabarcoding.
resultsResults reveal diverse bacterial communities comprising 40 phyla, 93 classes, 173 orders, 251 families, and 346 genera across all sites. The most abundant phyla detected were Proteobacteria (42.84%), Acidobacteria (15.52%) and Actinobacteria (7.95%). All sampling sites exhibited a similar bacterial composition, but differences in abundance were observed based on the frequency of human disturbance. Network analysis revealed a strong association between Mycobacterium spp. and Streptomyces spp. with other taxa, suggesting their ecological importance and health implications. The results emphasize the importance of soil monitoring as a proactive measure to mitigate public health risks. Continuous surveillance, microbial risk assessments, and targeted intervention are recommended to mitigate soil-borne disease risks in recreational environments.
