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

backgroundArbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi can promote plant growth and improve plant nutrition. However, how AM fungi affect plant nitrogen uptake and assimilation through their influence on related gene regulation and enzyme systems remain poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of AM fungi on biomass, nitrogen uptake, nitrogen-assimilating enzyme activities, and the expression of genes related to nitrogen assimilation and nitrogen transport in Camellia oleifera under varying nitrogen levels, from deficit to excessive.

resultsPlant growth initially increased but then decreased with increasing nitrogen application level. The addition of nitrogen increased the concentrations of NH

conclusionsThe results demonstrated that plant nitrogen assimilation and metabolism were enhanced by AM fungi. This enhancement promoted plant growth under optimal nitrogen concentrations, and under excessive nitrogen levels, it led to reduced excessive accumulation of inorganic nitrogen while mitigating high-nitrogen-induced stress. This study establishes a foundational understanding of the role of AM fungi in the nitrogen uptake and metabolism of plants.
