Ecosystem carbon storage and carbon metabolizing microorganisms in three types of grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The response of soil microorganisms to environmental changes can affect the storage and stability of carbon pools in ecosystems. However, the intrinsic link between the structure of soil carbon-metabolizing microbial communities and their roles in different types of alpine grasslands remains unclear. Methods: This study explores how carbon storage varies among alpine meadow (AM), alpine wetland (AW), and alpine desert (AD) on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and assesses the influence of a wide range of soil microbial and vegetation factors, so as to identify microbial predictors of ecosystem carbon storage. The study revealed four types of carbon metabolizing microbial communities responded to changes in vegetation types and their impact on the storage and stability of carbon pools. Results: The carbon storage of three grassland types followed the relativity of AW > AM > AD. Soil water content (SWC) was identified as the major factor affecting the carbon storage of grassland ecosystems by increasing vegetation belowground biomass and soil total carbon content, directly or indirectly influencing the diversity of four types of soil microorganisms through its effects on soil physicochemical properties. The community structure of these four types of carbon metabolizing microorganisms in AW significantly differed from that of AM and AD. The diversity of carbon-fixing microorganisms significantly reduced ecosystem carbon storage to a great extent. The relative abundance of carbon-fixing microorganisms
