Effects of fire intensity on soil microbial diversity and nitrogen cycling functional genes in forests (Northeast China).
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Forest fire disturbance is one of the most critical factors affecting forest ecosystems in Northeast China. It disrupts ecosystem balance, alters soil physical and chemical properties, and significantly impacts soil microbial communities and nitrogen cycling. Understanding these changes is essential for post-fire vegetation restoration and nitrogen pool reconstruction. Methods: This study focused on a burned Larix gmelinii forest in the Daxing'an Mountains. We investigated soil environmental factors, microbial community structure, nitrogen cycle genes, and their interrelationships under different fire intensity conditions. Results: (1) Light fire increased soil pH, total nitrogen (TN), soil organic carbon (SOC), nitrate nitrogen (NO Discussion: The findings reveal the complex response of soil properties, microbial communities and nitrogen cycle genes to different fire intensities. These findings provide a scientific basis for effective post-fire ecosystem management and soil fertility restoration in the boreal forest.
