Chemical characteristics of atmospheric precipitation and their effects on microbial diversity in Baotou, 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
Introduction: Existing studies on the coupling of atmospheric precipitation chemistry and microbial communities have long focused on humid regions, while overlooking the unique "sand-dust-agriculture-industry" compound pollution in arid/semi-arid industrial cities-creating a critical knowledge gap. This study aimed to systematically explore the interactive mechanisms, community assembly processes, and ecological/health implications of precipitation-associated microbes in Baotou, a typical heavy-industry hub in northern China. Methods: Precipitation samples were collected from May to August 2023 and analyzed for chemical ions (Ca Results: Baotou's precipitation exhibited a neutral pH (7.04 ± 0.14) but abnormally high ion loading (795.09 ± 94.68 μeq·L Discussion: The dominance of stochastic assembly and the functional divergence between bacteria and fungi underscore unique microbial adaptive strategies under compound pollution stress in arid industrial atmospheres. The high abundance of allergenic fungal pathogens highlights significant public health risks, especially during warm seasons. This study provides a novel framework for understanding precipitation chemistry-microbe interactions in arid industrial environments, offering critical insights for regional air quality management and health risk assessment.
