Role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi as an underground saviuor for protecting plants from abiotic stresses.
Review in Physiology and molecular biology of plants : an international journal of functional plant biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
To increase food production, prevalent agricultural malpractices such as intensive use of fertilizers and pesticides have led to degradation of the ecosystem. In this situation, there is a need to encourage eco-friendly and sustainable methods for improving crop production under ever increasing abiotic stress conditions. One such method can be through use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF or AM fungi). Soil microorganisms such as AMF serve as a link between plants and the soil resources. AMF represent a key functional group of soil microbiota that is fundamental for soil fertility, crop productivity, yield, quality and ecosystem resilience. AMF potentially increases bioavailability of water as well as various micro- and macro- nutrients which enhances production of plant photosynthates. In plants, inoculation with AMF led to increased photochemical efficiency ultimately resulting in enhanced plant growth. In this review we have summarized amelioration of drought or water scarcity, salt stress, increasing temperature or high temperature and heavy metal stresses etc. in crop plants by AMF through its effects on various physiological and biochemical processes including photosynthesis. The review also highlights AMF induced tolerance and adaptive mechanisms which protect crops from stresses. We conclude the review with a discussion of unseen issues and suggestions for future researches.
