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

Potato tubers are a primary source of infection with phytopathogens, which temporarily colonize their surfaces. Therefore, soil management practices are necessary to reduce pathogen accumulation. In Thailand, potato production typically involves soil amendment and crop rotation to decrease the quantities of soilborne pathogens before and during cultivation. In this study, we investigated the influence of microbial diversity, taxonomy, and functions of bacterial and fungal communities, as well as environmental factors, intra- and interkingdom microbial correlations, on potato tubers grown in Tak and Chiang Mai Provinces in northern Thailand, using 16S and ITS amplicon sequencing. The results show that soil properties significantly influenced the species composition of the bacterial and fungal communities on the potato tubers, although they did not distinctly affect overall species richness and evenness. Redundancy analysis also revealed that pH and organic matter are the main factors driving bacterial and fungal taxon enrichment and reduction. These factors also affect microbial composition and enhance the stability of cooperative and competitive microbial interactions. These findings demonstrate that pH and organic matter potentially impact the fluctuation of beneficial and phytopathogenic bacterial and fungal quantities in the potato tuber microbiome. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of these dynamics could help us develop environmentally friendly strategies for supporting farming practices by promoting beneficial microbial interactions.
