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

Introduction: Rhizosphere microbes perform critical functions for their hosts, and their structure is strongly influenced by vegetation type. Although studies on the effects of vegetation on rhizosphere microbial community structure have been conducted at large and global environment scales, studies at local environment scales would eliminate numerous external factors such as climate and soil type, while highlighting the potential influence of local vegetation type. Methods: Here, we compared rhizosphere microbial communities using 54 samples under three vegetation types (herb, shrubs, and arbors, with bulk soil as the control) at the campus of Henan University. 16S rRNA and ITS amplicons were sequenced using Illumina high throughput sequencing. Results and Discussion: Rhizosphere bacterial and fungal community structures were influenced considerably by vegetation type. Bacterial alpha diversity under herbs was significantly different from that under arbors and shrubs. The abundance of phyla such as Actinobacteria was extremely higher in bulk soil than in the rhizosphere soils. Herb rhizosphere harbored more unique species than other vegetation type soils. Furthermore, bacterial community assembly in bulk soil was more dominated by deterministic process, whereas the rhizosphere bacterial community assembly was dominated by stochasticity and the construction of fungal communities was all dominated by deterministic processes. In addition, rhizosphere microbial networks were less complex than bulk soil networks, and their keystone species differed based on vegetation type. Notably, bacterial community dissimilarities were strongly correlated with plant phylogenetic distance. Exploring rhizosphere microbial community patterns under different vegetation types could enhance our understanding of the role of rhizosphere microbes in ecosystem function and service provision, as well as basic information that could facilitate plant and microbial diversity conservation at the local environment scale.
