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

Over the last three decades, the presence of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in wetland habitats had been proven, and their roles played in wetland ecosystems and potential functions in wastewater bioremediation technical installations are interesting issues. To increase knowledge on the functions of AMF in the plant-based bioremediation of wastewater, we constructed two vertical-flow wetlands planting with Phragmites australis and investigated AMF distribution in plant roots and their roles played in purification of wastewater polluted by heavy metals (HMs), utilizing the Illumina sequencing technique. A total of 17 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) from 33,031 AMF sequences were obtained, with Glomus being the most dominant. P. australis living in the two vertical-flow constructed wetlands (CWs) harbored diverse AMF comparable with the AM fungal communities in upland habitats. The AMF composition profiles of CW1 (vegetated with non-inoculated plants) and CW2 (vegetated with mycorrhizal plants inoculated with Rhizophagus intraradices) were significantly different. CW1 (15 OTUs) harbored more diverse AMF than CW2 (7 OTUs); however, CW2 harbored much more OTU13 than CW1. In addition, a zipf species abundance distribution (SAD), which might due to the heavy overdominance of OTU13, was observed across AM fugal taxa in P. australis roots of the two CWs. CW1 and CW2 showed high (> 70%) removal capacity of HMs. CW2 exhibited significant higher Cd and Zn removal efficiencies than CW1 (CK) (p = 0.005 and p = 0.008, respectively). It was considered that AMF might play a role in HM removal in CWs.
