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

Introduction: Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play a crucial role in maintaining diversity and ensuring the proper functioning of grassland ecosystems. A comprehensive understanding of the diversity, distribution patterns, and drivers of AM fungi in different habitats is essential for exploring the ecological roles in grassland ecosystems. Methods: In this study, we utilized high-throughput sequencing technology to explore the diversity of AM fungi and their distribution at an altitude of approximately 3,500 m in the alpine grassland of the eastern Tibetan Plateau. Additionally, we investigated the impacts of seasonal variation on AM fungal communities. Results: A total of 97 species of AM fungi, comprising 937 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) belong to 9 families and 10 genera, were identified from the soil samples. Notably, the genera Discussion: The results demonstrated that the characteristics of AM fungal communities in the alpine grasslands of the eastern Tibetan Plateau were affected by seasonal variations and geographic location, and these findings are significant for the application of AM fungi in the restoration of grassland in similar ecosystems.
