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

Understanding the causal link between the microbiome and plant health is crucial for the future of crop production. Established studies have shown a symbiotic relationship between microbes and plants, reshaping our knowledge of plant microbiomes' role in health and disease. Addressing confounding factors in microbiome study is essential, as standardization enables precise identification of microbiome features that influence outcomes. The microbiome significantly impacts plant development, necessitating holistic investigation for maintaining plant health. Mechanistic studies have deepened our understanding of microbiome structure and function related to plant health, though much research still needs to be carried out. This review, therefore, discusses current challenges and proposes advancing studies from correlation to causation and translation. We explore current knowledge on the microbiome and plant health, emphasizing multi-omics approaches and hypothesis-driven research. Future studies should focus on developing translational research for producing probiotics and prebiotics from biomarkers that regulate the microbiome-plant health connection, promoting sustainable crop production through microbiome applications.
