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
Introduction: The aim of this study was the evaluation of bacterial profiles and diversity in the rhizosphere of durum wheat, Methods: Metabarcoding samplings were carried out in organic and conventional durum wheat fields at Gravina (Italy), before (March) and after (May) heading, including adjacent uncultivated controls. Bacterial amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) were obtained by RNA extraction from rhizosphere soil, followed by NGS sequencing of the V3-V4 regions of the 16S rRNA ribosomal gene. The nematodes were classified as herbivores, fungivores/moss feeders, bacterivores, and omnivores/predatory. Results: Crop fertilization and sampling time were effective drivers interacting with soil physicochemical traits and nematode guilds. Spearman's correlation showed, in March, an inverse relationship of herbivores with all other guilds. In May, the herbivores were inversely correlated with the fungal/moss feeders. The sampling season affected the correlations among nematode guilds as well as ASV profiles, in both the control and cultivated samples. ASV diversity indexes did not vary significantly among treatments, except for the Menhinick index in the organic wheat control. In general, a shift toward a richer ASV metabarcoding profile was observed in May for both crop types, with a higher diversity and abundance in the organic wheat. Crop management type, sampling time, and soil physicochemical properties significantly affected the rhizosphere microbiota, with Alphaproteobacteria (Methylobacteriaceae and Sphingomonadaceae) as the most represented in both wheat crops. Positive or inverse correlations linked nematode groups and ASV, with profiles almost specific for each guild. Bacteria inversely correlated with herbivores included Conclusions: The ASV profiles differed by management type and sampling time, as the sampling season affected the bacterial community, with the organic wheat always characterized by a higher richness and service redundancy. The occurrence of bacteria selectively associated with each nematode guild suggests the presence of multiple functional services deployed at the nematode-bacteria-rhizosphere interface.
