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

backgroundSeveral entomopathogenic fungal (EPF) species can colonise and establish symbiotic relationships with plants as endophytes, which affects crop growth under elevated carbon dioxide (eCO₂) concentrations. However, how EPF facilitates eCO

resultsBeauveria bassiana colonisation significantly enhanced maize growth across CO₂ concentrations. Key effects include: 39.64% greater leaf area than controls at ambient CO₂ during S3. Significant developmental divergence in leaf area between S3-S4 under eCO₂, 11.8% higher 100-grain weight in eCO₂+Bb vs. eCO₂ alone. Concurrent increases in stress-responsive enzymes and hormones aligned with omics-revealed activation of primary metabolic pathways (ZMA01100) and secondary metabolite biosynthesis pathways (ZMA01110).

conclusionsThese findings suggested that B. bassiana colonization modulates plant growth under eCO
