1 · What the graph read from it

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 registry

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

Actively growing extraradical hyphae extending from mycorrhizal plants are an important source of inoculum in soils which has seldom been considered in vitro to inoculate young plantlets. Seedlings of Medicago truncatula were grown in vitro in the extraradical mycelium network extending from mycorrhizal plants. After 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 days of contact with the mycelium, half of the seedlings were harvested and analyzed for root colonization. The other half was carefully transplanted in vitro on a suitable growth medium and mycelium growth and spore production were evaluated for 4 weeks. Seedlings were readily colonized after 3 days of contact with the mycelium. Starting from 6 days of contact, the newly colonized seedlings were able to reproduce the fungal life cycle, with the production of thousands of spores within 4 weeks. The fast mycorrhization process developed here opens the door to a broad range of in vitro studies for which either homogenous highly colonized seedlings or mass-produced in vitro inoculum is necessary.
