Biodiversity of the beneficial soil-borne fungi steered by Trichoderma-amended biofertilizers stimulates plant production.

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
The soil microbiota is critical to plant performance. Improving the ability of plant-associated soil probiotics is thus essential for establishing dependable and sustainable crop yields. Although fertilizer applications may provide an effective way of steering soil microbes, it is still unknown how the positive effects of soil-borne probiotics can be maximized and how their effects are mediated. This work aims to seek the ecological mechanisms involved in cabbage growth using bio-organic fertilizers. We conducted a long-term field experiment in which we amended soil with non-sterilized organic or sterilized organic fertilizer either containing Trichoderma guizhouense NJAU4742 or lacking this inoculum and tracked cabbage plant growth and the soil fungal community. Trichoderma-amended bio-organic fertilizers significantly increased cabbage plant biomass and this effect was attributed to changes in the resident fungal community composition, including an increase in the relative abundance and number of indigenous soil growth-promoting fungal taxa. We specifically highlight the fundamental role of the biodiversity and population density of these plant-beneficial fungal taxa in improving plant growth. Together, our results suggest that the beneficial effects of bio-organic fertilizer seem to be a combination of the biological inoculum within the organic amendment as well as the indirect promotion through effects on the diversity and composition of the soil resident plant-beneficial fungal microbiome.
