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.
2 · The registryThe 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.

6 · The paper itselfAbstract
The geomagnetic field is a fundamental environmental factor, yet the effects of its absence-termed the near-zero-magnetic field (NZMF) on microbial communities and associated ecological functions remain poorly understood. To address this, we conducted for the first time a 30-day NZMF incubation experiment using sediments and three microorganisms isolated from mangrove ecosystems. They were exposed to two magnetic conditions: the natural geomagnetic field and a near-zero-magnetic field (<3 nT), achieved using a specially designed magnetic shielding device. We analyzed the changes in microbial community composition, co-occurrence networks, and ecological functions. Our findings showed that while the overall prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial diversity remained unaffected, NZMF exposure significantly stimulated the growth of specific taxa such as
