Impacts of flooding on agricultural soil microbiome.
Article in Microbiology spectrum, 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
As a result of climate change, increased flooding events have been recorded across the globe. The role of soil microbiomes in soil health and fertility is well recognized, as these microbial communities drive essential processes such as nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, and plant health. The composition and function of these communities can be highly sensitive to environmental changes. The aim of this study is to identify the impacts of flooding on soil microbiome composition and diversity. Paired flooded and non-flooded agricultural soils were collected from Germany, Ireland, and Portugal, and characterized using full-length 16S rRNA gene and ITS amplicon sequencing. Following false-discovery-rate correction, flooding was not associated with significant differences in bacterial or fungal alpha diversity. In contrast, paired PERMANOVA detected small overall effects of flooding on bacterial Bray-Curtis, Jaccard, and unweighted UniFrac distances, and on fungal Bray-Curtis and Jaccard distances, although community composition was structured more strongly by country. At the taxonomic level,
