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

Understanding the interplay between mechanisms in plant microbiome assembly and functioning of wild ancestors has led to the proposal of a novel strategy to enhance resilience to the (a)biotic stresses of domesticated crops. The challenge is determining how to harness the diverse microbiota of wild crop ancestors in their natural habitats in order to design effective synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) that reconstitute specific microbiome-associated plant phenotypes. In this study, we profiled the phyllosphere microbiota of wild green foxtail collected from seven geographically diverse natural ecosystems and showed that variations in soil parameters and climatic conditions as well as plant genetic distance significantly correlated with bacterial and fungal community compositions. Environmental selection and dispersal limitation differently governed the assembly of bacterial and fungal communities with distinct habitat niche breadth. Specific bacterial and yeast genera were identified as core phyllosphere taxa of wild green foxtail millet on the basis of their abundance and prevalence across the seven sampling sites. Moreover, several genera of bacteria (
