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
Wetlands in Kashmir are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures such as urban expansion, waste disposal, grazing, and tourism. This study assessed the impact of such disturbances on the soil physico-chemical and microbial properties of four major wetlands-Hokersar, Anchar, Manasbal and Shallabugh-between 2019 and 2021. Two-way ANOVA indicated significant variation in parameters across disturbed and undisturbed sites. The relatively undisturbed Shallabugh wetland exhibited superior soil quality, with higher moisture content, organic carbon, available nitrogen, calcium, magnesium and microbial indicators such as bacterial population and VAM spores. In contrast, disturbed wetlands showed increased bulk density, reduced phosphorus availability, and elevated levels of heavy metals (Fe, Cu, Zn, Ni, Cd, Mn). Principal component analysis and correlation matrices further distinguished disturbed from undisturbed sites. These results highlight the degradation of soil health in disturbed wetlands and emphasize the ecological value of undisturbed sites. Effective wetland governance and conservation strategies are crucial for maintaining soil fertility, microbial diversity, and overall ecosystem functioning in the region.
