Effects of Pesticides on the Diversity of Endophytic Fungi in Tea Plants.
Article in Microbial ecology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
We examined the effects of agrochemicals on the endophytic fungal community associated with tea plants. Endophytic fungi were isolated from four different tea plant tissues (bark, xylem, old leaves, new leaves) collected from pesticide-treated and untreated plots. In pesticide-treated plot, the acaricides, fungicides, and insecticides are typically applied 3 times each year. The infection rate was slightly lower in the pesticide-treated plot, but the difference between plots was not statistically significant. Colletotrichum camelliae, Phyllosticta capitalensis, and Pleosporales sp. were common endophytes in both plots. Among a total of 41 fungal species, only 21 were considered common endophytes. Colletotrichum pseudomajus was the predominant endophyte in the bark tissue in the untreated plot, whereas C. camelliae was predominant in the pesticide-treated plot. Paraphaeosphaeria neglecta and Phoma bellendis were predominant in the xylem tissues of samples from the untreated and treated plots, respectively. Colletotrichum camelliae was the most commonly found species in leaf tissues in both plots, but the colonization frequency was significantly lower in the pesticide-treated plot. Species richness was not affected by pesticide treatment. The community structure of endophytic fungi in stem tissues (bark and xylem) differed significantly between plots, but leaf tissue endophytic fungal community structure was not significantly influenced by pesticide treatment.
