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

backgroundPlant-associated microorganisms significantly contribute to plant survival in diverse environments. However, limited information is available regarding the involvement of endophytes in responding to climate change and their potential to enhance host plants' adaptation to future environmental shifts. Pinus armandi, endemic to China and widely distributed in climate-sensitive regions, serves as an ideal subject for investigating microbiome interactions that assist host plants in climate change response. Despite this, a comprehensive understanding of the diversity, community composition, and factors influencing endosperm endophytes in P. armandi, as well as the response of these endophytes to climate change, remains elusive.

resultsIn this study, transcriptome data from 55 P. armandi samples from 13 populations were analyzed to evaluate the composition and diversity of active endosperm endophytes and predict their response to future climate change. The results revealed variations in community composition, phylogenetic diversity, and interaction network between the northern and southern groups. Temperature and precipitation correlated with endosperm endophytic species richness and diversity. Under projected future climate conditions, the northern group exhibits greater genomic vulnerability and anticipates increased threats, reflecting a corresponding trend in endosperm endophytes, particularly within the Ascomycota community.

conclusionThe consistent threat trend from climate change impacting both hosts and endophytes emphasizes the potential importance of host-related fungi as crucial indicators for predicting future climate impacts. Meanwhile, this study establishes an initial framework for exploring host-microbial interactions within the context of climate warming and provides valuable insights for studies related to plant protection.
