Mechanisms of 915 MHz Microwave Thermal Treatment on Physicochemical Properties and Microbial Communities in Sugarcane Continuous Cropping Soil.
Article in Microorganisms, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Long-term sugarcane monoculture triggers severe continuous cropping obstacles accompanied by notable soil microecological degradation, including nutrient immobilization, soil acidification, salinization and microbial community imbalance. Physical soil remediation via industrial microwave irradiation represents a promising approach to alleviate soil degradation. Nevertheless, the interactive variations in soil structure, fertility and microbial communities under gradient 915 MHz industrial microwave irradiation remain poorly understood. This study aimed to clarify the correlations among physicochemical properties, microbial structure and functional genes of sugarcane continuous cropping soil under microwave thermal regulation. A continuous 915 MHz microwave device with power gradients (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 kW) and a fixed irradiation duration of 10 min was adopted. Soil samples were incubated for 0, 15 and 30 weeks for comprehensive parameter determination. The results demonstrated that appropriate microwave power exerted positive regulatory effects on soil thermal intensity, aggregate disruption and microbial succession. Soil organic matter (SOM) and pH were key factors modulating the distribution of beneficial and pathogenic microorganisms. The 4 kW treatment disintegrated compact soil aggregates, activated mineral-bound nutrients, relieved soil acidification and salinization, and upregulated genes responsible for nutrient mineralization and antifungal metabolism to sustain high abundances of partial biocontrol fungi. In contrast, high-power treatments (6 kW and 8 kW) induced substantial early-stage SOM loss, reduced soil pH and aggravated salinization in the late incubation stage, thereby inhibiting symbiotic beneficial fungi. Collectively, 4 kW was the optimal microwave parameter in this study to coordinate soil structural, nutritional and microecological balance. This study provides a theoretical basis and technical guidance for the green remediation of soil plagued by sugarcane continuous cropping obstacles.
