Effects of AM colonization on "wild tobacco" plants grown in zinc-contaminated soil.
Article in Mycorrhiza, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
This greenhouse study aimed to determine the effect of colonization by the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus (Glomus intraradices Schenck & Smith) on the "wild" tobacco (Nicotiana rustica L. var. Azteca), under soil-zinc (Zn) conditions. Plants of N. rustica were grown in AM or non-AM inoculated substrate and subjected to four soil-[Zn] concentrations (0, 50, 100, and 250 mg Zn kg(-1) dry soil). The AM root colonization increased markedly from 14 to 81% with the increasing soil-[Zn] and the mycorrhizal structures were significantly more abundant at the highest soil-[Zn], suggesting that Zn may be involved directly or indirectly in AM root colonization. In addition, total Zn content or Zn concentrations in shoots and roots were shown to increase as soil-[Zn] increased in both AM and non-AM plants. As for the growth parameters studied, there were no significant differences between treatments despite the increase in Zn content or concentration. The AM roots subjected to the highest soil-[Zn] had a significant reduction by about 50% of total Zn content and Zn concentration compared to non-AM roots. Still, the relative extracted Zn percentage decreased dramatically as soil-[Zn] increased. Soil pH was significantly lower in non-AM than AM treatments at the highest soil-[Zn]. In summary, AM plants (particularly roots) showed lower Zn content and concentration than non-AM plants. In this regard, the AM fungi have a protective role for the host plant, thus playing an important role in soil-contaminant immobilization processes; and, therefore, are of value in phytoremediation, especially when heavy metals approach toxic levels in the soil.
