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
Soil microorganisms play a critical regulatory role in various ecosystem functions, making them essential for maintaining ecosystem stability. Plant functional diversity influences soil physicochemical properties and shapes the structure and function of soil microbial communities. However, the response patterns of soil microorganisms to karst rocky desertification (KRD) succession remain poorly understood, particularly the relationship between microbial community dynamics and aboveground plant functional diversity. Here, the present study focuses on four typical succession KRD stages in a representative karst area of southwest China. By analyzing the diversity and community composition of soil microorganisms (bacteria and fungi), measuring soil physicochemical properties, and assessing aboveground plant functional diversity, the study aims to clarify the response patterns of soil microbial communities to KRD and their relationships with plant functional diversity in the KRD ecosystem of southwest China. The following main results and conclusions were obtained: (1) The composition of soil microbial communities and diversity varied significantly across different rocky desertification degrees. Functional diversity of aboveground plants also exhibited significant differences across varying rocky desertification degrees. (2) Both taxonomic composition and diversity indices of soil microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) showed significant (
