Succession of pit mud archaeal communities and metabolic networks: the hidden key to the unique flavor of strong-flavor Baijiu.
Article in Applied and environmental microbiology, 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
The microbial community in pit mud, particularly the archaeal community, plays a pivotal role in the solid-state multi-microorganism fermentation process of strong-flavor Baijiu. This study systematically analyzed physicochemical properties, archaeal succession, and volatile metabolites across pit ages (3, 45, 100 years) and spatial layers (upper/middle/lower) in pit mud. It revealed the mechanisms by which environmental factors drive archaeal community composition and metabolic function. Results revealed marked spatiotemporal variations in pit mud's archaea and metabolites, with 45-year-old samples (especially mid-layer) showing peak archaeal diversity and highest volatile compound richness (predominantly esters).
