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

Phosphate ore is the primary phosphorus (P) source for ecosystem. Meanwhile, the intense exploitation of phosphate ore results in an escalating release of fluorine (F) into soil, posing potential risk to both the ecological system and public health. Thus, this study collected soil samples from distinct distances from phosphate ore. Mild F contamination (∼9 mg/kg, water-soluble) was detected in the areas near phosphate ore. Elevated concentrations of F and P were associated with an evident increase of fungal community richness and Ascomycota abundance. Additionally, F stress may weaken the co-occurrence networks and decrease the centralization of fungal communities. These responses of fungal communities enhanced their stress resistance capabilities. Meanwhile, P accumulation was observed for the soils near phosphate ore, which was consistent with the elevation of the abundance of phosphate-solubilizing fungi (PSF), enhancing the ability of this community to drive P cycle. This study offered a new perspective for sustainable management of phosphate mining, especially considering the pollution balance of P and F, and the microbial response to them.
