From farm to microbe: organic amendments and soil texture as drivers of soil Microbiome composition.
Article in Environmental microbiome, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundUnderstanding how agricultural practices affect soil bacterial communities is vital to mitigating the negative impacts of intensive agriculture on soil health and preventing further deterioration of arable land. Increasing pressure on agricultural land necessitates careful management of our productive soil. This study investigates the interaction between organic amendments and soil texture in agricultural soils (n = 93) used for arable production, using a 16S rRNA-sequencing based microbial community analysis. Amendments include slurry, digestate, and farmyard manure. Additionally, soil physicochemical parameters were collected to explore the drivers of patterns of soil microbial diversity.
resultsMicrobial community composition was significantly influenced by organic amendments and soil texture, which both exerted distinct selective pressures. Analysis using 16S rRNA-sequencing and advanced modelling identified significant factors affecting community structure, including soil calcium levels, the crop grown one year previously, loss on ignition (LOI), and farm ID. The genus Candidatus Nitrosotalea was found to be positively associated with application of farmyard manure, while genus AD3 (phyla Chloroflexi) was found to be negatively associated with application of digestate and slurry.
conclusionsThe results highlight the importance of considering multiple, interacting factors when trying to establish how agricultural practice affects soil microbial communities. Our findings underscore the need for tailored management strategies - specific to the local environment and available resources - to promote soil health.
