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

Despite extensive research on fungal communities in forest soils, our understanding of the whole eukaryotic diversity and distribution remains limited. Moreover, traditional amplicon sequencing methods often introduce severe PCR and primer biases, further hindering accurate assessment of the microbial community composition in forest soils. To address these challenges, this study used a public metatranscriptomic data set to analyze 51 forest soil samples comprising four countries (Canada, France, Spain, and Sweden). Our results reveal that Arcellinida, a eukaryotic order of shell-bearing amoebae, represent the most abundant eukaryotic taxon in forest soils, with an average relative abundance of 12.6%. This finding challenges the conventional view that fungi dominate eukaryotic diversity in these ecosystems. Furthermore, our study demonstrates that Arcellinida (R
