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
Introduction: Soil salinization strongly shapes rhizosphere microbial communities and their functional potential in arid ecosystems. Methods: Rhizosphere soils of Results: Salinity was associated with clear shifts in community composition. Bacteria dominated at low-to-moderate salinity, whereas archaeal relative abundance increased at higher salinity, with Euryarchaeota becoming dominant in the high-salinity group. Functional profiling indicated that core metabolic pathways remained prevalent along the gradient, suggesting relative stability in overall metabolic capacity. However, higher salinity was accompanied by enrichment of functions linked to genetic information processing (e.g., translation and replication/repair) and ion transport, while lipid metabolism, cell motility, and signal transduction were reduced. Discussion: Together, these results support a salinity-driven transition in microbial functional strategy from "growth expansion" toward "homeostasis maintenance." Under high salinity, microbes appear to allocate more resources to maintaining cellular integrity and coping with stress, consistent with the observed enrichment of genetic information processing and repair-related functions. Mechanistically, the increased representation of Na
