A soil food web approach to integrate soil fauna into multitrophic biogeochemistry.
Review in Communications earth & environment, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 fauna is essential in mediating the formation and turnover of soil organic matter, the largest terrestrial pool of organic carbon, yet remains absent from nearly all existing biogeochemical conceptual frameworks. Soil fauna impacts element cycling via trophic (microbivory, herbivory, detritivory, predation) and non-trophic (bioturbation, dispersal, waste products) pathways. These effects should be integrated into multitrophic biogeochemistry by considering the environmental context (abiotic constraints, quality and quantity of carbon inputs), by including soil food web structure, and by accounting for the role of soil fauna as agents of connectivity. We highlight the need for better quantification of soil fauna and consideration of carcasses and feces as substantial carbon flows. Based on a soil food web approach, these concepts will improve the quantification of the impact of soil fauna on carbon cycling and help to predict how soil fauna will affect carbon cycling under future global change scenarios.
