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

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) form beneficial partnerships with most plant species, helping to improve crop resilience in tough environmental conditions. This paper analyzed how different genotypes responded to AMF inoculation, focusing on root colonization percentage (RCP) and the impact of AMF on above-ground agronomic traits. However, RCP alone may not fully explain genotype variation, and AMF effects cannot be judged solely on above-ground traits. This research aims to explore the variation in ninety tef genotypes under AMF conditions and assess how AMF and genotypes affect root and shoot morphology traits. Genotypes were sorted into six cluster groups, showing varied responsiveness to AMF, with RCP ranging from 25.03 to 72.29%. Despite similar RCP, variations in morphological traits were observed, and groups with lower RCP exhibited important traits not found in those with higher RCP, indicating RCP alone cannot indicate genotype variability.
