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

Sustainable agriculture requires the development of biological control technologies. Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) are important resources of microbial control agents, yet their diversity in soil with various habitats remains poorly understood. In this study, we systematically investigated the EPF diversity in soils of eastern China. A total of 455 strains of 42 EPF species belonging to 18 genera were isolated and identified from 540 soil samples collected from 108 sites representing five habitats (crop, orchard, forest, fallow, and grasslands) in Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shandong, Shanghai, and Zhejiang regions. Habitats had a greater influence on EPF diversity than regions. Overall, EPF diversity in natural habitats (forests and grasslands) was slightly higher than in agricultural habitats (crops, orchards, and fallow lands), particularly in terms of species richness. Among agricultural habitats, orchard had the highest evenness and relatively low species richness, while fallow land showed the lowest diversity, which may be related to management intensity or vegetation cover. Furthermore, the results also demonstrated the similarity of the EPF community structures among different habitats or regions;
