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

Forest-wetland ecotones are transitional ecosystems characterized by pronounced hydrological and biogeochemical heterogeneity, yet the microbial mechanisms regulating nutrient cycling in these zones remain insufficiently understood. This study investigated how vegetation transitions across a forest-wetland ecotone in the black-soil region of Northeast China shape soil microbial communities and nitrogen-cycling functions. Soils were collected from four vegetation types: mixed forest (MF), coniferous forest (CF), wetland edge (WE), and natural wetland (NW). Quantitative PCR was used to quantify key nitrogen-cycling functional genes (
