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

Surveys of microorganisms and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in edaphic systems have centered on those in human-impacted environments, with relatively little information from primitive environments. The karst tiankeng (also known as sinkholes) is the largest negative terrain on the earth's surface, and the trapped terrain keeps the interior relatively pristine. In this study, three of the most representative tiankeng types (severely, moderately, and non-degraded tiankengs) were selected, and microbial composition, function, and their association with ARGs were determined using metagenetic techniques. The dominant phyla in karst tiankengs were
