The exudate from an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus induces nitric oxide accumulation in Medicago truncatula roots.

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
Nitric oxide (NO) is a signaling molecule involved in plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. While there is evidence for NO accumulation during legume nodulation, almost no information exists for arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM). Here, we investigated the occurrence of NO in the early stages of Medicago truncatula-Gigaspora margarita interaction, focusing on the plant response to fungal diffusible molecules. NO was visualized in root organ cultures and seedlings by confocal microscopy using the specific probe 4,5-diaminofluorescein diacetate. Five-minute treatment with the fungal exudate was sufficient to induce significant NO accumulation. The specificity of this response to AM fungi was confirmed by the lack of response in the AM nonhost Arabidopsis thaliana and by analyzing mutants impaired in mycorrhizal capacities. NO buildup resulted to be partially dependent on DMI1, DMI2, and DMI3 functions within the so-called common symbiotic signaling pathway which is shared between AM and nodulation. Significantly, NO accumulation was not induced by the application of purified Nod factor, while lipopolysaccharides from Escherichia coli, known to elicit defense-related NO production in plants, induced a significantly different response pattern. A slight upregulation of a nitrate reductase (NR) gene and the reduction of NO accumulation when the enzyme is inhibited by tungstate suggest NR as a possible source of NO. Genetic and cellular evidence, therefore, suggests that NO accumulation is a novel component in the signaling pathway that leads to AM symbiosis.
