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

backgroundRecent studies demonstrated that microbiota inhabiting the plant rhizosphere exhibit diel changes in abundance. To investigate the impact of plant circadian rhythms on bacterial and fungal rhythms in the rhizosphere, we analysed temporal changes in fungal and bacterial communities in the rhizosphere of Arabidopsis plants overexpressing or lacking function of the circadian clock gene LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL (LHY).

resultsUnder diel light-dark cycles, the knock-out mutant lhy-11 and the gain-of-function mutant lhy-ox both exhibited gene expression rhythms with altered timing and amplitude compared to wild-type plants. Distinct sets of bacteria and fungi were found to display rhythmic changes in abundance in the rhizosphere of both of these mutants, suggesting that abnormal patterns of rhythmicity in the plant host caused temporal reprogramming of the rhizosphere microbiome. This was associated with changes in microbial community structure, including changes in the abundance of fungal guilds known to impact on plant health. Under constant environmental conditions, microbial rhythmicity persisted in the rhizosphere of wild-type plants, indicating control by a circadian oscillator. In contrast, loss of rhythmicity in lhy-ox plants was associated with disrupted rhythms for the majority of rhizosphere microbiota.

conclusionsThese results show that aberrant function of the plant circadian clock is associated with altered rhythmicity of rhizosphere bacteria and fungi. In the long term, this leads to changes in composition of the rhizosphere microbiome, with potential consequences for plant health. Further research will be required to understand the functional implications of these changes and how they impact on plant health and productivity.
