Factors Influencing Leaf- and Root-Associated Communities of Bacteria and Fungi Across 33 Plant Orders in a Grassland.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 34 papers.
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
In terrestrial ecosystems, plants interact with diverse taxonomic groups of bacteria and fungi in the phyllosphere and rhizosphere. Although recent studies based on high-throughput DNA sequencing have drastically increased our understanding of plant-associated microbiomes, we still have limited knowledge of how plant species in a species-rich community differ in their leaf and root microbiome compositions. In a cool-temperate semi-natural grassland in Japan, we compared leaf- and root-associated microbiomes across 137 plant species belonging to 33 plant orders. Based on the whole-microbiome inventory data, we analyzed how sampling season as well as the taxonomy, nativeness (native or alien), lifeform (herbaceous or woody), and mycorrhizal type of host plants could contribute to variation in microbiome compositions among co-occurring plant species. The data also allowed us to explore prokaryote and fungal lineages showing preferences for specific host characteristics. The list of microbial taxa showing significant host preferences involved those potentially having some impacts on survival, growth, or environmental resistance of host plants. Overall, this study provides a platform for understanding how plant and microbial communities are linked with each other at the ecosystem level.
