Nitrogen fertilization reduces the standing biomass, abundance, and size of Cenococcum sclerotia: a ubiquitous but rarely quantified ectomycorrhizal soil carbon pool.

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
Unlike most ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi, Cenococcum geophilum is a prolific producer of sclerotia, which represent a large and persistent, yet rarely quantified pool of EM fungal biomass and carbon in soils. How biomass of these asexual propagules is impacted by global change factors, such as anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition, remains unquantified. This study examined the effects of long-term experimental N fertilization on the standing biomass, abundance, and size of C. geophilum sclerotia in an oak (Quercus spp.) savanna ecosystem at Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve in Minnesota, USA. Standing sclerotia biomass in the control treatment averaged 192 g m
