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

Genetically modified crops have transformed agriculture, but their long-term ecological impacts remain incompletely understood. Here we investigate how herbicide-tolerant transgenic cotton affects rhizosphere microbial communities and nutrient cycling over a 28-day growth period using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and multivariate analyses. We sampled rhizosphere soil from greenhouse-grown transgenic and wild-type cotton plants at five time points, analyzing microbial diversity, community structure, and nutrient dynamics. Despite initial concerns about transgenic modifications disrupting soil ecosystems, we found no significant differences in microbial α-diversity or β-diversity between genotypes. Only minor, transient changes occurred at the genus level, including <5% shifts in
