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

Forest soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation is regulated by plant-derived carbon inputs and soil environmental conditions, but the relative roles of litter composition and soil physicochemical properties in regulating SOC fractions remain unclear in high-elevation forest ecosystems. This study aimed to determine whether variation in SOC among different forest types was mainly associated with particulate organic carbon (POC) or mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC), and to identify the relative roles of litter characteristics, soil physicochemical properties, microbial biomass, and enzyme activities in regulating SOC fractions. Four forest types on the eastern edge of the Tibetan Plateau were investigated: broadleaved poplar forest (PLF), larch forest (LXF), seabuckthorn forest (SBF), and Dasiphora shrubland (DS). PLF had the highest SOC and POC contents (75.8 and 48.5 g kg
