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
Long-term nitrogen-only fertilization can alter soil physicochemical properties and microbial community structure in maize fields. In this study, nitrogen-only fertilized soil (S) and conventionally fertilized soil (B) were collected from a four-year maize field trial in Anshun City, Guizhou Province, China. Meanwhile, a forest-derived microbial enrichment system (T) was prepared through fermentation using forest soil, rice bran, and molasses. Metagenomic sequencing and untargeted metabolomics were used to compare microbial, functional gene, and metabolite differences between S and B soils within the agricultural field system, and to describe the microbial community composition, functional gene profiles, and metabolite features of T as an independent reference system. The results showed that Pseudomonadota accounted for 44.33% of the microbial community in T, compared with 20.63% in S and 22.31% in B. Carbon and nitrogen metabolism-related genes, including ackA, gltB, and ureC, showed higher relative abundances in T than in S. Pathway-level annotation indicated higher representation of genes or modules related to glycolysis and nitrogen metabolism in T. Metabolomic profiling revealed distinct metabolite patterns in T, including differences in amino acids, carbohydrates, and metabolites annotated to phenylpropanoid-related pathways. Candidatus Rokubacteria also showed high relative abundance among nitrogen-metabolism-associated taxa in T. Overall, this study provides descriptive multi-omics evidence of the microbial composition, functional gene profiles, and metabolite features of a forest-derived fermentation-enriched microbial community. Because T was an artificially enriched system and was not introduced into agricultural soil, these results should be interpreted as baseline data for future controlled validation rather than direct evidence of soil remediation or functional compensation.
