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: Ectomycorrhizal fungus (ECMF) could enhance plant tolerance to heavy metal toxicity by altering metal accumulation and protecting plants from oxidative injury. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying ECMF-mediated detoxification of cadmium (Cd) in willow sapling are not well known. This study aimed to unveil the roles of Methods: This study systematically evaluated physiological and biochemical parameters in the leaf and root tissues of 18 willow saplings, while concurrently conducting transcriptomic analysis of the roots under Cd stress. The specific treatments were labeled as follows: NF (no ECMF inoculation and no Cd addition), CG (CG colonization only), SL (SL colonization only), NF+Cd (no ECMF inoculation with 100 μM Cd addition), CG+Cd (CG colonization with 100 μM Cd addition), and SL+Cd (SL colonization with 100 μM Cd addition). Results: The results showed the growth, photosynthesis, antioxidant system and transcriptome of 2-month-old willow saplings responded differently to ECMFs colonization under Cd stress. S. luteus markedly increased the aerial parts biomass, while Discussion: This study provides a molecular perspective on the mechanism of interaction between ECMFs and willow saplings under Cd stress and supports the application of ECMFs for phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated soil.
