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

Research into the interaction between plants and the soil microbiota has expanded rapidly and is unravelling a plethora of interactions between plants and their root microbiota. The rhizosphere exhibits remarkable chemical diversity, driven by an evolutionary arms race. Through these chemicals, plants shape the rhizosphere microbiome using different mechanisms: organic carbon provision, antimicrobial compound production, and exudation of microbiota recruitment signals. Modern high-input agriculture may have diminished the role of natural chemical interactions and modern crops may have lost some of the relevant traits. As our understanding of root-rhizosphere interactions grows, harnessing natural mechanisms for agricultural sustainability becomes increasingly viable, potentially helping agriculture to counteract growing challenges from environmental stresses, climate change, and rising input costs.
