Root Exudate-Mediated Interactions Among Maize, Sorghum, and Soybean During Germination and Early Development.
Article in microPublication biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
Designing sustainable cropping systems requires incorporating ecological principles, particularly those that improve system-level function through species diversity. Intercropping, growing two or more species in close proximity, offers a promising strategy to enhance productivity and reduce input reliance. We tested whether root exudates from maize, sorghum, and soybean influence conspecific and heterospecific germination and seedling growth. Using hydroponically collected exudates, we found species-specific effects: maize exudates reduced germination across species, soybean showed selective inhibition with broad growth promotion, and sorghum was largely unresponsive. These early exudate-mediated interactions may shape compatibility among intercrop species and inform the design of ecologically grounded cropping systems.
