Mesotrione alters the structure of network interactions between soil microbes and affects C and N cycling functions.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Mesotrione is a widely used herbicide in corn production. However, its persistence in soil following application can cause significant damage to subsequent crops such as tobacco. Despite its widespread use, it remains unclear how mesotrione applications affect soil carbon and nitrogen cycling, as well as whether they alter soil microbial communities. Here, we conducted a 2-month greenhouse experiment to investigate changes in functional C and N cycling genes as well as the structural assembly of soil microbial communities following mesotrione application at 180 (T1) and 900 (T5) g a.i. ha
