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

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) disseminates throughout the soil-plant continuum via complex microbial interactions. Plants shape root- and leaf-associated microbiomes that sustain plant health; however, soil-borne legacies-enriched with antibiotic-producing microbes and resistance genes-govern AMR dynamics across agroecosystems. Using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, shotgun metagenomics, and high-throughput quantitative PCR, we profiled antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), mobile genetic elements, and virulence factor genes across bulk soil, rhizosphere, phyllosphere, and root endosphere within soil-tomato and soil-strawberry continua. Recurrent bacterial wilt amplified the resistome, particularly polypeptide resistance genes, thereby establishing the rhizosphere as a major hotspot of ARG accumulation. Multidrug-resistant
