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

backgroundMangroves are hotspots of carbon sequestration in transitional zones between marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Microbially driven dark carbon fixation (DCF) is prominent in sediments, yet our understanding of the DCF process across this continuum remains limited. In this study, we explored DCF activities and associated chemoautotrophs along the sediment depth of different mangrove sites in Fujian Province, China, using radiocarbon labeling and molecular techniques.

resultsOur results showed that the DCF rates ranged from 0.02 to 3.27 mmol C m

conclusionsOverall, this study provides new insights into the understanding of biological carbon fixation and its ecological functions in mangrove sediments. Video Abstract.
