An Adapted Protocol for Quantitative Rhizosphere Acidification Assay.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Acidification of the rhizosphere is a key process in the homeostasis of multiple essential nutrients, including iron. Under iron deficiency, the release of protons from the roots helps solubilize and increase the accessibility of iron in the soil. Rhizosphere acidification has been widely examined in many iron homeostasis studies, generally using a qualitative method based on the color change of bromocresol purple, a pH indicator dye, near the roots. In this chapter, we introduce an adapted version of a rhizosphere acidification assay protocol that allows for the quantitative assessment of small pH changes in the rhizosphere. This colorimetric method also utilizes bromocresol purple, but the ratio of its absorbance at 434 nm and 588 nm is considered to quantify protons released into the assay solution. Furthermore, the assay is compatible with small sample volumes, such as those with young Arabidopsis seedlings.
