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
Temperate rainforest systems are being radically altered by commercial timber harvest and climate change, imposing unprecedented stress on the trees and their mycorrhizal fungal communities. We used marker gene sequencing to describe the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF; phylum Mucoromycota) communities associated with in-situ, mature Taxus brevifolia Nutt. (western yew) and co-occurring Acer glabrum var. douglasii (Douglas maple) and Thuja plicata Donn ex. D. Don (western redcedar) in the inland temperate rainforests of southern interior British Columbia. We identified a total of 48 phylogroups (virtual taxa; VT) in the Mucoromycota, and observed a high degree of overlap in AMF composition within mixed-species groups at the same location. We additionally observed an unusually linear relationship between rhizosphere soil pH and the AMF richness of T. brevifolia. Rhizosphere soil pH was further related to the tree canopy composition (i.e., dominant and codominant tree species) immediately adjacent to the host trees. These results confirm that this community of late-seral temperate tree species shares a common guild of AMF and suggest that T. brevifolia and its associated AMF may be particularly sensitive to environmental changes, such as shifts in neighborhood forest composition.
