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

Straw return reshapes the biogeochemical processes in paddy soils by driving microbial transformation of key elements. Despite growing awareness of these individual processes, the integration of these processes under millimeter-scale spatiotemporal heterogeneity remains unclear. Combining high-resolution geochemical profiling with multiomics, we revealed that straw addition altered the depth-dependent dynamics of arsenic, carbon, and nitrogen, establishing a sophisticated three-layer microbial stratification. We identified 1) an 18 mm organic matter (OM)-rich layer extending from the straw layer, which serves as a methanogenic epicenter co-occurring with active nitrogen fixation microbes; 2) an overlying layer dominated by aerobic methane oxidation and denitrification microbes; and 3) a deeper substraw layer dominated by anaerobic arsenite oxidation and denitrification microbes. Significantly positively correlated abundances of transcribed
