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

In the past, the potato plant microbiota and rhizosphere have been studied in detail to improve plant growth and fitness. However, less is known about the postharvest potato tuber microbiome and its role in storage stability. The storage stability of potatoes depends on genotype and storage conditions, but the soil in which tubers were grown could also play a role. To understand the ecology and functional role of the postharvest potato microbiota, we planted four potato varieties in five soil types and monitored them until the tubers started sprouting. During storage, the bacterial community of tubers was analysed by next-generation sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene amplicons. The potato tubers exhibited soil-dependent differences in sprouting behaviour. The statistical analysis revealed a strong shift of the tuber-associated bacterial community from harvest to dormancy break. By combining indicator species analysis and a correlation matrix, we predicted associations between members of the bacterial community and tuber sprouting behaviour. Based on this, we identified Flavobacterium sp. isolates, which were able to influence sprouting behaviour by inhibiting potato bud outgrowth.
