Manganese Oxidation during Vegetation Burning.
Article in Environmental science & technology, 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
Redox recycling of manganese (Mn) plays a key role in organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling in terrestrial vegetated ecosystems, and it is expected to be changed by fires. This study revealed how Mn is oxidized during vegetation burning, by characterizing the chemical speciation of Mn in fire ash from wildland fires and laboratory burning and evaluating the factors governing its average oxidation state (AOS) and speciation. Manganese in wildland fire ash from different ecosystems showed variable AOS that ranges from 2.5 to 3.3. Laboratory burning experiments showed that Mn oxidation was primarily controlled by fire thermal intensity (temperature × duration) and burning completeness. As heating time increased from 5 min to 5 h at 550 and 700 °C, Mn AOS in the lab-burned vegetation ash increased from 2.7 to 4.0 and the oxidation rate was faster at higher temperature. Diverse Mn species can present in wildland fire ash and differ structurally from biogenic Mn oxides. The oxidized Mn species enable fire ash to mediate oxidative degradation of catechol, demonstrating its potential in mediating organic matter decomposition. This study revealed a new paradigm of Mn redox recycling, as compared to the microbe-mediated Mn redox cycling in the absence of fires.
