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

The rhizosphere is a critical hotspot for metabolic activities involving arsenic (As). While recent studies indicate many functions for soil viruses, much remains overlooked regarding their quantitative impact on rhizosphere processes. Here, we analyze time-series metagenomes of rice (Oryza sativa L.)rhizosphere and bulk soil to explore how viruses mediate rhizosphere As biogeochemistry. We observe the rhizosphere favors lysogeny in viruses associated with As-oxidizing microbes, with a positive correlation between As oxidation and the prevalence of these microbial hosts. Moreover, results demonstrate these lysogenic viruses enrich both As oxidation and phosphorus co-metabolism genes and mediated horizontal gene transfers (HGTs) of As oxidases. In silico simulation with genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) and in vitro validation with experiments estimate that rhizosphere lysogenic viruses contribute up to 25% of microbial As oxidation. These findings enhance our comprehension of the plant-microbiome-virome interplay and highlight the potential of rhizosphere viruses for improving soil health in sustainable agriculture.
