Biochar-induced microbial and metabolic reprogramming enhances bioactive compound accumulation in Panax quinquefolius L.
Article in BMC plant biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Panax quinquefolius L., with a history of over 300 years in traditional Chinese medicine, is notably rich in ginsenosides-its primary bioactive components. Although our previous study found that biochar application could enhance the content of ginsenoside Re, Rg and other contents in P. quinquefolius, its effect on the overall secondary metabolism of P. quinquefolius and its mechanism are still unclear. In this paper, the correlation between plant microbiome and secondary metabolites was studied from the perspective of plant rhizosphere microorganisms and endophytes, and the mechanism of biochar-induced metabolic reprogramming of P. quinquefolius was revealed. The results showed that biochar treatment significantly increased the accumulation of various substances in P. quinquefolius, including nucleosides, glycerophosphocholines, fatty acyls, steroidal glycosides, triterpenoids, and other bioactive compounds. Additionally, biochar treatment significantly enriched beneficial rhizosphere microorganisms such as Bacillus, Flavobacterium, and Devosia, while reducing the relative abundance of harmful fungi like Fusarium. Furthermore, it promoted endophytic Flavobacterium, Acaulospora, and Glomus, and suppressed pathogenic genera such as Plectosphaerella, Cladosporium, and Phaeosphaeria. These shifts in rhizosphere microbial community and endophytes structure and function were closely linked to the accumulation of secondary metabolites (e.g. ginsenosides Rg
