Grazing intensity shapes soil fungal diversity and co-occurrence networks across soil depths.

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
Grazing is an important disturbance affecting grassland ecosystems in agro-pastoral ecotones, yet its effects on soil fungal diversity and co-occurrence networks across vertical soil profiles remain unclear. We selected a typical grassland at the junction of the Loess Plateau and the Mongolian Plateau in northern China and established four grazing intensities: ungrazed control (CK), light grazing (LG), moderate grazing (MG), and heavy grazing (HG). Soil samples were collected from three layers (0-2, 2-10, and 10-20 cm). Soil physicochemical properties, high-throughput sequencing, co-occurrence network analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to examine fungal community responses and their potential associated pathways. Grazing intensity and soil depth significantly influenced soil physicochemical properties and fungal community composition. Fungal α-diversity exhibited soil layer-dependent responses to grazing intensity, with light and moderate grazing maintaining higher fungal richness in surface soils than heavy grazing, whereas fungal richness responses differed among deeper soil layers. Factorial PERMANOVA showed significant effects of grazing intensity (
