Mineral Stabilization of Soil Organic Sulfur at the Continental Scale.
Article in Global change biology, 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
Declining atmospheric sulfur (S) deposition makes S an emerging limiting macronutrient for plants, yet the stability and dynamics of soil organic S-the largest terrestrial S pool supplying plant-available sulfate via mineralization-remain unclear. Across North American soils, total organic S is dominated by mineral-associated organic S (MAOS; 61% ± 26%); this pool is stabilized by mineral protection but saturates at ~600 μg S/g soil. Compared with particulate organic S (POS), which is relatively labile and does not saturate, MAOS is more decomposed, chemically diverse, and climate-sensitive. Higher temperature accelerates S mineralization in both pools, but their ability to supply available S varies with moisture regime because MAOS stabilizes in wetter soils while POS remains labile. This continental-scale reassessment of the soil S cycle reveals that secondary minerals play a dual role in soil S cycling by stabilizing organic S and retaining sulfate, providing a mechanistic basis for nutrient management and carbon sequestration in response to climate change in an S-scarce future.
