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

Fundamental life history processes of mycorrhizal fungi with inconspicuous fruiting bodies can be difficult to elucidate. In this study we investigated the species identities and life history of the orchid mycorrhizal Tulasnella fungi, which associate with the south eastern Australia orchid genus Chiloglottis. Tulasnella prima was the primary partner and was found to be associated with all 17 Chiloglottis species across a range of >1000 km, and to occur in the two edaphic conditions investigated (soil and sphagnum hammocks). Another Tulasnella species (T. sphagneti) appears to be restricted to moist conditions of alpine sphagnum hammocks. The population genetic structure of the widespread species T. prima, was investigated at 10 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and at four cross-amplified SSR loci for T. sphagneti. For both taxa, no sharing of multilocus genotypes was found between sites, but clones were found within sites. Evidence for inbreeding within T. prima was found at 3 of 5 sites. Significant genetic differentiation was found within and between taxa. Significant local positive spatial genetic autocorrelation was detected among non-clonal isolates at the scale of two metres. Overall, the population genetic patterns indicated that in Tulasnella mating occurs by inbreeding and dispersal is typically restricted to short-distances.
