Land conversion from forest to agriculture redistributes but does not reduce soil organic carbon stores in northeastern Ontario, Canada.

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
Climate change is creating conditions for agriculture to expand northward. For conventional large-scale operations, this will require the conversion of forests to agricultural land in most areas, which has historically been associated with large (30%) losses of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil degradation. To potentially mitigate these losses, farmers in Northern Ontario, Canada, are incorporating woody residues into their soils during conversion to retain more organic matter on-site, while bringing the land into production faster than conventional conversion approaches. The current study examines the effects of converting forest to agricultural land on soil by comparing SOC storage in the top 45 cm of mineral soil in forests, old (> 50 year) and young (< 10y) conventionally cleared fields, and young fields with mulched forest biomass incorporated into the soil following land clearing in the Great Clay Belt, northeastern Ontario, Canada. There were no statistically significant effects (
