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

Introduction: Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) has demonstrated efficacy as a soil fumigant, effectively controlling soil-borne pathogens and nematodes. Although AITC has a significant effect on soil microbial communities, whether fumigation affects the production of crop endophytes is unclear. Methods: In this study, AITC was used to fumigate the soil, and the response of endophytic bacteria (in roots, stems, and leaves) in different pepper genotypes (Xiangla359, La Xuan, Shuang Jiao) was investigated. Results: Fumigation with AITC significantly increased soil microbial diversity, stimulated the growth of Actinomycetota, and inhibited Pseudomonadota. However, the effects on endophytic bacteria varied among pepper varieties. Specifically, fumigation significantly reduced microbial diversity in the roots and leaves of Xiangla359, but had no significant effect on La Xuan and Shuang Jiao. Furthermore, the growth-promoting effect of AITC was most pronounced in Xiangla359. Conclusion: Our results suggest that while AITC fumigation significantly alters soil microbial diversity and composition, its effects on crop endophytes are genotype-dependent. These findings provide insight into the complex interactions between soil microbial communities and crop endophytes in response to soil fumigation.
