Effect of organic material addition combined with tillage systems on organic carbon components and microbial communities in corn-fields of North East China.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Organic material return (OMAR) and tillage systems are crucial agricultural management practices that govern soil microbial properties and organic carbon (OC) content, thereby fundamentally determining soil fertility. However, the precise mechanisms by which these practices mediate microbial activity to enhance distinct OC fractions remain poorly understood. Through a field experiment, we systematically evaluated changes in OC components and soil microbial properties under four treatments (CT, CTS, NTS, and BC). Results indicated that, compared to the CT treatment, BC significantly increased the concentrations of total organic carbon (TOC), light fraction organic carbon (LFOC), and particulate organic carbon (POC) by 181.9%, 1649.4%, and 2778.6%, respectively. Conversely, NTS and CTS increased the content of labile organic carbon (LOC) by 225.6% and 206.6%, and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) by 9.7% and 21.9%. Furthermore, OMAR significantly altered microbial α-diversity and community structure, driving a proportional increase that favored copiotrophic bacteria, such as Bacteroidetes (26.0%-209.4%), Firmicutes (90.5%-268.4%), and Actinobacteria (2.2%-52.1%), while concomitantly depleting oligotrophic K-strategists, including Alphaproteobacteria (24.9%-39.4%) and Acidobacteria (2.9%-34.2%). Random forest modeling revealed that NTS drove LOC accumulation (explaining 32.95% of the variance) primarily by stimulating Actinobacteria, Ruminococcaceae_UCG-013, Romboutsia, Parasutterella, and Candidatus_Pelagibacter. In contrast, BC maximized TOC (73.51%), LFOC (77.77%), and POC (74.02%) accumulation by significantly boosting the abundances of Bacteroidetes, Leptospirillum, Filimonas, Dyadobacter, and Anaerolinea. This investigation elucidates the mechanistic linkages between microbial taxonomic shifts and specific OC fraction dynamics under varying OMAR and tillage regimes, providing critical insights for optimizing carbon sequestration and sustaining long-term soil fertility in agricultural ecosystems.
