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

Unsustainable mining on the Tibetan Plateau has disrupted vegetation and soil, depleting nutrients and altering bacterial communities. We assessed the effects of humic acid and sheep manure on soil physicochemical properties, plant growth, and bacterial communities in reclaimed alpine mine soils at 4,000-4,200 m using 16S rRNA sequencing. Low doses of humic acid increased soil organic matter and nitrogen but reduced phosphorus, while sheep manure enhanced all measured nutrients and decreased heavy metal concentrations. The most effective treatments were K1_4 and K2_3. Dominant bacterial phyla included Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidota, Actinobacteriota, and Acidobacteriota, with key genera such as
