1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Atrazine is a widely used herbicide, and its degradation is primarily mediated by microbial activity. However, the interplay between nutrient availability and viral infections on microbial degradation of atrazine remains unexplored. Here, we investigated atrazine degradation under different nitrogen amendments (ammonium, nitrate, and urine) and the influence of soil viruses (intracellular and extracellular viruses). The results showed that atrazine degradation was greater with the addition of extracellular viruses without exogenous nitrogen sources. The added nitrogen sources (nitrate and urine) completely inhibited atrazine degradation. Ammonium impeded atrazine degradation, which was promoted with the addition of intracellular viruses. The metagenomic-based evidence revealed that nitrogen amendments significantly alter bacterial and viral community composition.
