Variations in Nodule Microbial Communities and Their Association with Root-Colonizing Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Medicago Sativa.
Article in Microbial ecology, 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
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), known as "Queen of forages", is valued to its high-nutritional quality and is a key member of Leguminosae family. Its productivity is largely attributed to mutualistic symbioses with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and rhizobia, which facilitate nutrient exchange and plant growth. However, the coexistence and mutualistic interactions between rhizobia and AMF across alfalfa genotypes with differing yields in native soil remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the community composition of rhizobia and AMF colonizing alfalfa roots across different-yield varieties. Our results showed variations in dominant microbial taxa and the structural complexity of root-associated microbial networks among genotypes. Moreover, rhizobia exhibited no significant associations with AMF on genus level, however, negative correlations were observed among genera within the AMF community, and a comparable trend was identified among rhizobial taxa. In summary, our findings offer new insights into how native soil microbiota influence the dual symbiotic relationships of alfalfa, with implications for leveraging native microbial communities to enhance sustainable forage production.
