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 morphogenesis and defense evolution of plants are intricately linked to soil microbial community dynamics, where beneficial and pathogenic bacteria regulate ecosystem stability through chemical signaling. A microbial communication mechanism known as quorum sensing (QS), which affects population density, virulence, and biofilm formation, substantially impacts plant development and immune responses. However, plants have developed strategies to detect and manipulate QS signals, enabling bidirectional interactions that influence both plant physiology and the balance of the microbiome. In this review, QS signals from bacteria, fungi, and nematodes are systematically examined, emphasizing their recognition by plant receptors, downstream signaling pathways, and the activation of defense responses. Most significantly, attention is given to the role of fungal and nematode QS molecules in modulating plant microbe interactions. By elucidating these communication networks, we highlight their potential applications in sustainable agriculture, offering novel insights into crop health management and ecosystem resilience.
