Arbuscular mycorrhizal networks-A climate-smart blueprint for agriculture.
Review in Plant communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal symbiosis offers a transformative solution to mitigate agroecosystem challenges linked to the excessive use of synthetic chemicals. However, the role of AM-plant communication in response to anthropogenic activities and hyphal network functionality remains poorly understood. Here, we reposition AM fungal hyphosphere networks as a keystone ecological infrastructure for sustainable agroecosystems. Drawing on a synthesis of thousands of global experimental studies, we highlight the primary environmental functions of AM fungus-plant communication: enhancing agroecosystem resilience by buffering crops against diverse biotic and abiotic stressors through molecular signaling and physiological modulation, mediating energy transfer via small-RNA-mediated cross-kingdom interactions, facilitating hydraulic redistribution within the soil profile through hyphospheric networks, and optimizing root architecture via effective colonization for improved nutrient acquisition. Certain anthropogenic practices-such as soil disturbance, non-mycorrhizal crop monoculture, and fungicide application-can disrupt AM hyphal networks; however, these impacts can be minimized through improved farming practices, such as cropping diversification with legumes and AM fungus-compatible crops, AM-responsive plant genotypes, effective AM fungal inoculation, and microbial consortium amendments. Integrating insights into AM fungal mechanisms with anthropogenic practices and policy support is essential to scaling AM benefits across ecoregions. Harnessing AM fungal functionality can increase nutrient use efficiency, reduce reliance on chemical inputs, and enhance ecosystem productivity, offering a microbe-centered blueprint to support the United Nations' sustainability goals.
