Mycorrhizal network: a bidirectional pathway between green-leaved terrestrial orchids and pine trees.
Article in Frontiers in plant science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Increasing evidence demonstrates that plant roots can be connected via mycorrhizal networks. Such networks in roots play key roles in plant physiology and ecosystem functioning, but it remains debated whether bidirectional transfers of resources can occur simultaneously inside the network. Methods: We constructed a compartmented system to test for bidirectional carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) transfer between three terrestrial orchids ( Results: A unidirectional transfer of C and N was observed between Discussion: The divergent transfer patterns among orchid species demonstrate that mycorrhizal networks function as dynamic, species-specific pathways for resource transfer. This specificity may significantly influence orchid recruitment and nutrient dynamics in forest understories, suggesting that the role of common mycorrhizal networks is more complex than previously recognized.
