Field study of compound microbial agents for soil improvement and microbial community dynamics on rocky slopes in Southwest China.

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
Engineering construction and mining activities have resulted in numerous exposed rocky slopes, posing significant geological and ecological challenges. To address these issues, this study developed compound microbial agents composed of functional microorganisms and applied them in a field-based ecological restoration project on typical high and steep rocky slopes in Southwest China. The aim was to restore the micro-ecological environment of the slopes by reconstructing the soil conditions. After 240 days of restoration, soil available phosphorus increased from < 2.0 to 6.10 mg/kg, available potassium from 62.80 to 75.00 mg/kg, organic matter from 8.90 to 12.86 g/kg, and organic carbon from 0.70 to 0.73%. Total nitrogen and total phosphorus slightly increased, indicating improved soil fertility. The addition of compound microbial agents enhanced microecological stability while maintaining the overall structure of the indigenous microbial communities. The progressive development of biological soil crusts and rock fissures facilitated the colonization of algae, lichens, mosses, and higher plants. By the 8th month, vegetation coverage exceeded 30% in some areas. This study presents an effective field-based model for the microbial ecological restoration of rocky slopes and offers insights into ecosystem-recovery mechanisms supporting sustainable land management.
