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

Soil antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) represent an emerging planetary health threat. However, the environmental impacts of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) control policies remain unclear. Based on 2243 Chinese metagenomes, we generated a 14-year (2009-2022) spatiotemporal profile of Chinese soil ARGs and developed an open-access platform based on the interactive map. Relative to pre-2015 samples, the relative abundance of total ARGs (52.6%) and Rank I ARGs (77.0%) in croplands decreased markedly after 2016, coinciding with the national AMR control policy period (2016-2020). Comparing soil resistomes globally (2556 metagenomes) revealed homogenization in croplands, reflecting convergent ARG profiles under similar agricultural pressures across regions. This underscores the need for a shift from national to global intervention. Our findings highlight the importance of coordinated strategies that combined chemical pollution control with agricultural best practices to curb ARGs' dissemination under the One Health framework.
