Straw Mulching Differentially Shapes the Structure and Function of Below-Ground Bacterial Communities in Potato Depending on eDNA Source and Cultivar.

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
Potato is the world's third most important food crop, yet its production relies heavily on pesticides, creating a need for sustainable alternatives. We assessed how straw mulching, a practice known to improve soil fertility, enrich microbial activity, and suppress diseases, affects below-ground bacterial community structure and functional potential across different potato-associated sample types. A field experiment was conducted in northern Sweden using two potato cultivars under mulched and control soil conditions. Samples from the rhizosphere, root, soil, and tuber peel were analyzed using 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene sequencing (Illumina platform) to assess bacterial diversity and community composition. Straw mulching significantly increased bacterial richness and altered community structure across sample types and cultivars. Copiotrophic genera, which thrive in nutrient-rich environments, included
