Compost mediates the recruitment of core bacterial communities in alfalfa roots to enhance their productivity potential in saline-sodic soils.

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
Introduction: Composting is one of the effective environmental protection and sustainable measures for improving soil quality and increasing crop yield. However, due to the special physical and chemical properties of saline-sodic soil and the complex rhizosphere microecological environment, the potential mechanism of regulating plant growth after applying compost in saline-sodic soil remains elusive. Methods: Here, we investigated the effects of different compost addition rates (0, 5, 15, 25%) on plant growth traits, soil chemical properties, and rhizosphere bacterial community structure. Results: The results showed that compost promoted the accumulation of plant biomass and root growth, increased soil nutrients, and enhanced the diversity and complexity of the rhizosphere bacterial communities. Moreover, the enriched core bacterial ASVs (Amplicon Sequence Variants) in compost treatment could be reshaped, mainly including dominant genera, such as Discussion: Overall, our study strengthens the understanding of the potentially important taxa structure and function of plant rhizosphere bacteria communities, and provides an important reference for developing agricultural microbiome engineering techniques to improve root nutrient uptake and increase plant productivity in saline-sodic soils.
