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

Alternative methods for arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal colonized root staining have recently gained more attention for the reduction of hazard exposure to the user. Sheaffer blue ink has been employed for such an identification and quantification, having shown an increased degree of image clarity. However, sourcing Sheaffer blue ink is becoming problematic, leading to the need to find alternative inks that are readily available. Parker ink is a well-known brand, providing comparable colour options to Sheaffer. Two Parker inks, blue and washable blue, were employed alongside Sheaffer blue for comparative AM fungal colonized root staining. From quantified AM fungal vesicles and arbuscles, along with the degree of stained image clarity under microscopy, none of the inks utilized for this comparison produce a significantly (
