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

The mechanisms underlying groundwater microbial community assembly have long attracted attention in earth, environmental, and ecological studies. Nevertheless, limited knowledge is available regarding microbial community assembly within the intact groundwater flow systems in arid regions. In this study, long-term hydrochemical data and microbial community profiles were integrated to unravel the assembly processes and driving forces mediating microbial communities in the Golmud River watershed. Our results indicated that hydrochemical conditions gradually transitioned from oxidizing to reducing environments along the groundwater flow path, as evidenced by a 28.57% and 65.45% decrease in DO and ORP, respectively. Major ions, represented by TDS, displayed minimal variations in phreatic (519.72 ± 16.83 mg/L) and artesian groundwater (486.01 ± 27.71 mg/L), followed by pronounced enrichment in high-salinity groundwater (TDS: 316,112.74 ± 12,452.19 mg/L).
