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

Increasing water use efficiency (WUE) in crops is critical to maintaining agricultural production under climate change-exacerbated drought. One of these approaches may consist of leveraging on the beneficial interactions between crops and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). In this study, we investigated how inoculation with AMF from three different taxa (Claroideoglomus etunicatum (T1), Gigaspora margarita (T2), and Rhizophagus irregularis (T3)) and their combination (T123) and a non-inoculated "control" treatment in a greenhouse could achieve increased biomass production and water use efficiency in cassava under three levels of water availability (100% PC, 60%-moderate stress, and 30%-severe stress). Whereas T1 and T2 resulted in a lower growth rate for the plants than the control, T123 enhanced cassava height and the number of petioles and leaves. T123 and T3 increased the total plant dry biomass in comparison with uninoculated plants by 30% and 26%, respectively. The T123 and plants inoculated with T3 significantly increased cassava above-ground biomass by 19% as compared to T1 (8.68 ± 2.44 g) and T2 (8.68 ± 2.44 g) inoculated plants. T123 resulted in higher WUE, which was validated by the leaf carbon (δ
