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

The Hexi Corridor provides two-thirds of the nation's total seed supply. However, long-term monocropping has restricted plant growth, increased annual disease incidence, and hindered the sustainable development of the local seed industry. A study examined the impact of two carbon-rich residues, both irradiated and non-irradiated, on the rhizosphere microbes associated with corn seed production using a pot experiment and high-throughput sequencing.The results indicated that irradiated residues increased bacterial diversity, reduced fungal diversity, altered microbial functionality, and decreased the relative abundance of pathogens. Additionally, plant growth and soil properties improved. Carbon-rich irradiated biogas and furfural residues promoted soil rhizosphere microbes in maize, responding to an increase in beneficial rhizosphere microorganisms. The impact of irradiation on rhizosphere microbes was more significant than that of incubation or non-irradiation. Irradiated biogas residue had a greater impact on bacterial diversity and functionality compared to irradiated furfural residue, whereas the effects on fungal diversity and functionality were reversed between the two residues.The application of two residues, with or without irradiation, improved soil physicochemical properties, enhanced plant growth, and reduced disease incidence. Carbon-rich resources, when combined with irradiation, promote soil rhizosphere microbial diversity and suppress pathogen invasion by encouraging beneficial microbes. Using irradiated carbon-rich resources can serve as an effective method for disease control and a sustainable solution to improve long-term corn seed production systems.
