Soil-Borne Pathogens Reflect Agricultural Land-Use Legacies.
Article in Ecology letters, 2026. 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
Historical land-use changes shape present-day biodiversity through legacy effects, but the duration and mechanisms of these legacies are poorly understood. We used historical land-use maps in two Swedish landscapes across three centuries to examine the persistent influence of historical land use on plant and soil microbial communities. Overall, bacteria showed stronger legacy effects than fungi, but effects varied across functional groups of plant-associated and free-living taxa. However, soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi showed a persisting influence of arable land use which gradually disappeared after ~150 years, suggesting that land-use legacies decay over time. This dilution could relate to changing plant communities but also to changes in microbial associations, as suggested by species co-occurrence patterns over time. Our findings provide novel and crucial information on the duration of land-use legacies and single out soil-borne plant pathogens as key indicator groups of historical land use in present-day ecosystems.
