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

Endophytic fungi enhance plant growth and improve tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress. Calicotome spinosa is an important medicinal plant that occupies the area of Tizi-Ouzou and is considered a nonflammable plant that maintains this ecosystem and regenerates degraded substrates. However, the knowledge about the endogenous fungal assembly of C. spinosa remains underexplored. Therefore, this study aimed to isolate and determine the fungal communities inhabiting the C. spinosa leaves endosphere using morphological and molecular identification methods. Morphological identification revealed the presence of Alternaria, Cladosporium, Mucor, Neoscytalidium, Rhizoctonia, Rhodotorula, Phoma, Penicillium, and Trichophyton genera. Molecular analysis of the selected phylogenetic markers' nucleotide sequences detailed the previous one and discovered the following: Biscogniauxia mediterranea, Schizophyllum commune, Penicillium polonicum, Athelia bombacina, Chaetomium globosum, Penicillium brevicompactum, Coriolopsis sp., Coprinellus sp., Aspergillus chevalieri, Aspergillus wentii, Canariomyces microspores, Alternaria alternata, Canariomyces notabilis, Rosellinia sp., Penicillium sp., and Alternaria sp. The taxonomic knowledge gained here for the first time about the group of endophytic fungi associated with the ethnomedicinal plant growing in Algeria, and the disposition of these fungi isolates provides a basis for further research into understanding the functions they may have in the plant. These isolates are therefore a source of potential candidates for further research into their possible applications as beneficial microorganisms in ecology, environmental and plant protection, and sustainable agriculture.
