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
The impact of soil and tree species on fungal and bacterial communities was investigated in a former uranium mining area with field and pot studies of the mycorrhizospheres of birch (Betula pendula), oak (Quercus robur), and pine (Pinus sylvestris). At the initial stages of succession re-created in the pot experiment, tree-species-specific microbial communities were detected. The pot microbiomes showed lower diversity and evenness of fungi and bacteria as compared to field-grown trees. In the natural field setting, the fungal community both in bulk and rhizosphere soil consisted of mainly Thelephoraceae, Inocybaceae and Russulaceae. They contributed with Leotiaceae and Herpotrichiellaceae to 52-85% of overall abundances, showing the soil hyphae impact of ectomycorrhiza in the tree stand. The fungal communities and their distribution patterns reflected host tree specificity and successional stage of the ectomycorrhizosphere. In the bacterial community, the most abundant bacterial classes were Alphaproteobacteria, Acidobacteria, Ktedonobacteria, Bacteroidia, Gammaproteobacteria, and Phycisphaerae representing about 59-80% of all bacterial sequences. The bacterial communities correlated with soil chemical parameters, particularly the content of toxic metals, total nitrogen and C/N ratio. This study allowed to identify drivers for microbial community composition, which might be helpful to develop afforestation strategies in post-mining landscapes.
