Distribution Patterns and Community Assembly of Soil Nematodes Along Elevation Gradients in a Dry-Hot Valley.
Article in Ecology and evolution, 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
In arid regions, mountain ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots but also highly fragile. While aboveground communities have been well studied, belowground communities-particularly soil fauna-remain poorly understood despite their key roles in ecosystem functioning. Soil nematodes play an important role in soil faunal communities. Here, we characterized soil nematode communities and soil properties in plots located at four different elevations in the Yuanjiang dry-hot valley, China. We examined the effects of soil properties on nematode abundance, diversity, and community composition, and explored the community assembly along the elevational gradient. Our findings suggest that the increase in soil moisture is the primary driver of the elevational rise in nematode abundance, but it is not the main factor responsible for changes in nematode diversity. Instead, with increasing elevation, NH
