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

In the process of long-term co-evolution, endophytes and host plants benefit from and interact with each other, resulting in positive effects such as promoting plant growth, enhancing resistance, producing beneficial secondary metabolites, and negative effects such as carrying pathogens and producing toxins. In addition to the vegetative organs, plant seeds are also colonized by diverse endophytes and serve as vectors for the transmission of endophytes across plant generations. Seed endophytes, termed seed-borne endophytes (SBEs), have attracted much attention because these endophytes are involved in the assembly of the plant association microbiome and exert effects on progeny plants through vertical transfer. However, the importance of SBEs may still be underestimated. The present paper reviews the diversity, origin, and vertical transmission of seed endophytes, as well as their interaction and function with hosts, so as to provide a reference for future research and application of seed endophytes.
