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

Iron bioavailability is often limited especially in calcareous soils. Trichoderma harzianum strongly improves plant iron uptake and growth in calcareous soils. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which T. harzianum mobilizes iron in calcareous soils. Here, the model strain T. harzianum NJAU4742 and a synthetic microbial community (SynCom) was used to show that the efficacy of T. harzianum in enhancing plant iron nutrition in calcareous soils depends on the soil microbiome. Enhanced iron-mobilization functions of the SynCom were observed in the presence of T. harzianum NJAU4742. Concurrently, T. harzianum NJAU4742 improved the iron-mobilization capacity of the SynCom by enriching strains that are able to do so. Finally, Chryseobacterium populi was identified as a key driver of iron mobilization, while their synergistic colonization further enhances this process. This study unveils a pivotal mechanism by which T. harzianum NJAU4742-mediated re-structuring of the soil microbiome and ameliorates plant iron nutrition.
