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 flower microbiome is pivotal in plant health, influencing reproductive success, fruit quality, and pathogen vulnerability. However, the impact of intensified agricultural practices on these microbial communities remains to be understood. This study examines how specific agricultural practices influence the bacterial composition of the strawberry anthosphere, focusing on cultivation intensification. Intensified systems were defined by practices such as indoor glasshouse substrate-based cultivation, increased use of plant protection products, larger cultivation areas, and reliance on managed pollinators. Using citizen science and V4 16S rRNA gene sequencing, we found that flowers in these more intensively managed systems had lower bacterial diversity, more variable microbiomes, and loss of core taxa such as
