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

Recently, there has been a focus on using soil microbes as a means to store carbon in the soil in the form of calcium carbonate, outcomes of which include soil stabilization and biocementation. The molecular processes involved in microbially induced calcium carbonate formation are known, but there is still a significant knowledge gap regarding how community interactions, emergent processes that are distinct from the roles of individual members, may drive the formation of carbonate. To answer these questions, we describe the development and application of a consortium of soil microbes consisting of one species each of the Rhodococcus, Microbacterium, and Curtobacterium genera and two species from the Bacillus genus. We term these five species cultivated together carbon storing consortium A (CSC-A). Growth assays show that only a subset of CSC-A members produces CaCO
