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

Regenerative agriculture (RA) is expanding across the Western Canadian Prairies, but its microbial foundations under climatic constraint remain insufficiently integrated. This review synthesizes evidence from long-term Prairie field experiments, regional and global datasets to evaluate how regenerative management reshapes soil biological processes and agronomic performance across systems. RA practices including no-till, diversified rotations, cover cropping, and organic amendments consistently enhance microbial biomass (up to 40-86%), arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal abundance (32-60%), and microbial diversity (≈50%), alongside increases in soil organic carbon (up to 15.6 kg C ha
