1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The alpine mining area of the Qilian Mountains features a fragile ecosystem, severe soil degradation due to mining disturbances, and slow natural recovery. To clarify the ecological restoration potential of rhizosphere microorganisms associated with native dominant plants, this study investigated the community structure, diversity, and functional differentiation patterns of rhizosphere bacterial and fungal communities associated with seven native dominant plant species in the Tianzhu mining area. Using Illumina NovaSeq 6000 high-throughput sequencing, we amplified the bacterial 16S rRNA V3-V4 region and the fungal ITS1 region. A total of 24 sequencing libraries (seven plant species + bare soil, three replicates each) were analyzed. Bioinformatics analyses examined ASV distributions, alpha/beta diversity, species composition, and differentially enriched taxa, followed by functional predictions. Bacterial alpha diversity (Chao1: 623.39-1553.25; Shannon: 7.49-9.67) varied significantly among plant species, with
