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

The rhizosphere is considered the primary place for soil microbiome differentiation and plays a key role in plant survival, especially for those subjected to environmental stress. Using high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, we analyzed and compared soil bacterial communities associated to four of the most abundant high altitude native plant species of the Chilean Andean grasslands. We examined three soil compartments: the rhizosphere (bacteria firmly attached to the roots), the rhizosphere-surrounding soil (bacteria loosely attached to the roots) and the bulk soil (plant-free soil). The rhizosphere microbiome was in all cases the least diverse, exposing that the bulk soil was a more complex environment. Taxonomic analysis revealed an abrupt change between the rhizosphere and the rest of the non-rhizospheric soils. Thus, while rhizobacterial communities were enriched in Proteobacteria (mainly Alphaproteobacteria), Actinobacteria (mostly Blastocatellia) dominated in bulk soils. Finally, we detected certain taxonomic rhizosphere signatures, which could be attributed to a particular genotype. Overall, our results indicate that the thin layer of soil surrounding the roots constitute a distinctive soil environment. This study contributes to expand the knowledge about soil bacterial communities in the Chilean highlands and takes the first step to understand the processes that might lead to the rhizosphere differentiation in that area.
