Peatland degradation restructures microbial communities and reduces soil multifunctionality through amplified β-diversity turnover.

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
Soil multifunctionality (SMF) integrates multiple ecosystem processes essential for ecosystem stability, organic matter decomposition, nutrient transformation, and energy flow. Peatlands occupy a small fraction of the terrestrial surface, yet their high water tables and anaerobic conditions sustain diverse biogeochemical processes and relatively high SMF. However, drainage, climate change, and intensified human activities disrupt these conditions and drive widespread peatland degradation. Here, we integrated two field experiments from Northeast China with a global meta-analysis of 54 studies to assess how peatland degradation affects soil microbial communities and SMF. Degradation increased soil pH, reduced lignin- and lipid-rich structural carbon, enhanced hydrolytic enzyme activity, elevated CO
