Nematode Community Profiling in Organic and Conventional Spinach Systems.

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
Agricultural management practices play a significant role in shaping soil biological communities and ecosystem processes. Soil nematodes are valuable biological indicators of soil health because they occupy different trophic levels and are sensitive to alterations in environmental conditions. This study assessed the influence of organic and conventional farming systems on soil nematode communities in spinach production systems in Embu County, Kenya. We hypothesized that organic farming systems would support higher nematode diversity and a more complex community structure than conventional systems. Soil samples were collected from farms under the two management systems and analyzed using high-throughput sequencing targeting the 18S rRNA gene. A total of 394 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) representing 73 nematode genera were identified across the two systems. Numerical differences were observed in the abundance of nematode families, genera, and trophic groups between the two farming systems. Cephalobidae, Prismatolaimidae, and Trichodoridae showed higher relative abundance in the conventional system, while Rhabditidae, Monhysteridae, and Qudsianematidae were relatively more abundant in the organic system, but these differences were not statistically significant.
