Interactive effects of exogenous melatonin and Rhizophagus intraradices on saline-alkaline stress tolerance in Leymus chinensis.
Article in Mycorrhiza, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Melatonin, a ubiquitous molecule found in almost all organisms, is considered an important regulator in plant growth. However, little is known about the interactive effect of melatonin and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi on plant resistance against soil salinity and alkalinity. To fill in such a gap in knowledge, we conducted three experiments to explore (1) whether exogenous melatonin and an AM fungus had interactive effects on plant response to saline-alkaline stress, (2) whether the influence of melatonin on mycorrhizal plant stress tolerance was attributable to effect on the AM fungus, and (3) whether the effect of melatonin application was due to changes in soil salinity and alkalinity. We found interactive effects between melatonin and the AM fungus on alleviating ROS burst, decreasing malondialdehyde content and protecting Leymus chinensis photosynthetic activity through activation of antioxidant enzyme and gene expression (superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione reductase) in plant shoots and roots. Our results showed that exogenous melatonin promoted spore germination and hyphal length of the AM fungus under Petri-dish conditions. However, exogenous melatonin application did not exhibit significant effects on soil salinity and alkalinity. This study provides an insight into the beneficial effects of exogenous melatonin on saline-alkaline stress tolerance in mycorrhizal L. chinensis through regulating antioxidant systems, protecting photosynthetic activity, and promoting associated AM fungal growth without changing soil salinity and alkalinity. It also reveals potential applications of exogenous melatonin and AM fungi for the restoration of saline-alkaline degraded grassland.
