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 beneficial fungus Trichoderma is a key component of agricultural soils, contributing to sustainable crop production through multiple mechanisms. Among its major roles are the suppression of plant pathogens, promotion of plant growth, and activation of plant immune responses. This study reviews recent advances in understanding the modes of action of Trichoderma spp. related to pathogen control and plant growth promotion, using comparative analysis of its interactions across different plant-associated habitats. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in elucidating how Trichoderma interacts with plants in the rhizosphere, endosphere, and phyllosphere, where it exhibits distinct colonization patterns and functional traits. Additionally, this review explores emerging but less-studied topics, such as the involvement of Trichoderma in the pathobiome concept. Finally, we discuss the synergistic interactions between Trichoderma and other plant-associated microorganisms, highlighting their importance in shaping complex microbial networks within agroecosystems.
