Optimized Method for Efficient DNA Extraction from Agricultural Soils.
Article in Methods and protocols, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 harbors the highest concentration of microorganisms in ecosystems, and their molecular characterization through high-throughput sequencing is essential for metagenomic studies. However, obtaining high-quality, high-concentration DNA is limited by physicochemical properties (pH, heavy metals, humic acids) and adsorption to clay minerals. Although standardized commercial protocols exist, they present variable limitations depending on soil type. This study developed and validated the National Center for Genetic Resources-Microorganism Collection (CNRG-CM) method, which incorporates innovative pre-washing steps using phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and sodium phosphate to effectively remove inhibitory humic acids and metal ions, combined with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)/chloroform extraction to achieve high-molecular-weight metagenomic DNA isolation. The CNRG-CM method was applied to three diverse soil types with variable physicochemical properties, recovering DNA concentrations ranging from 1000 to 1300 ng/μL ith a yield of 30 to 48 µg/g
