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

Biochar is widely used as a soil amendment; however, information regarding its effects on soil microbial communities under tetracycline (TET) stress remains limited. In this study, metagenomic sequencing was employed to investigate the effects of TET contamination and biochar amendment on soil microbial community profiles, the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) genes through a pot experiment. Results showed that TET exposure reduced microbial diversity and evenness, and significantly altered the relative abundance of dominant microbes (e.g., Acidobacteriota and Candidatus_Rokubacteria) whereas biochar amendment especially at 0.5% application significantly increased both diversity and evenness, facilitated the recovery of dominant microbes, and improved community stability. TET exposure also enriched glycopeptide resistance genes and shifted CAZyme gene profiles. Overall, the metagenomic results demonstrated that reed biochar can regulate soil microbial responses under TET stress, providing insights into its role in alleviating antibiotic-induced microbial disturbance and supporting soil ecological resilience.
