Growth-promoting bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi differentially benefit tomato and corn depending upon the supplied form of phosphorus.
Article in Mycorrhiza, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
The ability of plants to take up phosphorus (P) from soil depends on root morphology and root exudates release and can be modulated by beneficial soil microbes. These microbes can solubilize P, affect root elongation and branching, and lead to a higher uptake of P and other nutrients. However, coordination of these mechanisms is unclear, especially the mechanism for changing the available form of P. We aimed to dissect the effects of two different beneficial microbial taxa (plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF)) on root morphological traits, plant nutrient content, and growth in tomato and corn fertilized with either Gafsa rock phosphate (RP) or triple superphosphate (TSP), which have contrasting solubility levels. Tomato and corn were grown in pots and inoculated with one of three PGPB species or a mix of two AMF species or were not inoculated. Root traits, botanical fractions, and the contents of various mineral nutrients were measured. TSP stimulated tomato biomass accumulation compared to RP but did not stimulate corn biomass accumulation. PGPB improved the growth of both plant species under RP, with limited differences among the strains, whereas AMF only improved tomato growth under TSP. These differences between microbial systems were explained by a bacterial effect on the total root length but not on the mean root diameter and by the ability of AMF to improve the mineral nutrient content. The effects of PGPB were less dependent on the plant species and on P form than the effects of AMF.These results have implications for the improvement of the early plant growth through the management of beneficial microbes.
