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

Cyanobacteria are constructors of biological soil crusts (BSCs); their motility is thought to be crucial for surviving burial and BSC expansion. In this study, X-ray computed microtomography in combination with machine-learning-based image processing was employed to investigate cyanobacteria-dominated BSCs. The structural changes in these BSCs, as well as the behaviors of the dominant cyanobacterium
