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 ecological characteristics of fungal generalists (FG) and specialists (FS) in rhizosphere, as well as their impact on soil micronutrient dynamics and plant metabolic adaptability are largely unknown. Through large-scale sampling of Panax notoginseng (with saponins as the primary specialized metabolite) and ecological analysis, we demonstrated that, compared to FS, the assembly of rhizosphere FG is more strongly governed by deterministic processes and that they play more crucial roles in maintaining network stability. Further, Mantel analysis and multiple machine learning models revealed that FG, rather than FS, are significant contributors to soil micronutrient availability, particularly for iron and zinc. This was substantiated by culture-based approaches, where we confirmed the zinc- and iron-solubilizing capabilities of candidate FG isolates both in vitro and in soil. A driver analysis of plant metabolic variation identified soil micronutrient availability as the predominant factor affecting plant metabolome and saponin accumulation, underscoring the significance of the FG-driven micronutrient availability in shaping plant metabolic adaptability. Among these micronutrients, available zinc exhibited the strongest positive effect on total saponin accumulation (R
