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

The intricate interplay between endophytic microorganisms and plants in the upkeep of biodiversity, the stability of communities, and the operation of ecosystems needs to be more adequately extensive. Although root-associated microbial communities of plants have been revealed for the last decade, the understanding of bacterial and fungal communities associated with the roots of medicinal plants remains elusive. To highlight the importance of Panax ginseng Meyer (PG) in our research, we investigated the root endophytic bacterial and fungal communities of Panax ginseng Meyer (PG), alongside Aralia cordata (AC), Angelica gigas (AG), and Peucedanum japonicum (PJ), utilizing amplicon-based community profiling and advanced bioinformatic methodologies. The study aimed to investigate the root-endophytic microbiota of ginseng and three other medicinal plants and identify similarities in microbiome composition across different plant species and families. Results revealed that root-endophytic bacterial and fungal communities were influenced by plant species and phylogenetic differences at the family level. Differential abundance tests and random forest models showed microbial features within the same plant family. PG had a distinctive microbial profile with significant B1653_o_Enterobacterales and F8_o_Helotiales. PG had a core microbiome, B10_Allorhizobium-Neorhizobium-Pararhizobium-Rhizobium, and a more evenly distributed microbial network compared to AG, PJ, and AC. Our research reveals the intricate endophytic microbial communities within the roots of medicinal plants, pinpointing specific taxa that may be pivotal to their medicinal qualities and overall plant health. These insights carry notable implications for future studies, particularly those focused on the endophytes of PG and their secondary metabolites, as they deepen our understanding of plant-microbe interactions and their role in enhancing the plants' therapeutic potential.
