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 phyllosphere bacteria play a crucial role in global greenhouse gas emissions and sequestration, but the spatial interactions between phyllosphere bacterial diversity, host leaf traits and environmental variation remain poorly understood. This gap is mainly due to methodological limitations in linking the spatial pattern of bacterial diversity to leaf traits. Here, we present machine learning models based on visible and near-infrared (VIS-NIR) leaf hyperspectral proximal sensing that are used to independently predict the phyllosphere bacterial alpha-diversity indices and leaf traits under different abiotic conditions for both sides of the leaf. We demonstrate that the models can effectively represent leaf traits and bacterial alpha-diversity indices for different abiotic environmental conditions. The cross-correlation of the spatial patterns as a result of the spatial application of the independent models reveals fine-scale associations between leaf traits and bacterial colonization patterns. Our findings highlight the great potential of hyperspectral proximal sensing for understanding the relationship between leaf bacterial richness and leaf resources within the leaf microecosystem. Ultimately, this will enhance our capacity to quantify the contribution of the leaf bacteria to the greenhouse gas balance of the forest canopy in a changing climate.
