Root Microbiota: Orchestrating Architecture-Smart Crops.
Review in Microbial biotechnology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Crops depend on microbial partners for their growth, development, and overall resilience. A pivotal understanding has emerged showing the direct involvement of the root microbiota in regulating the tiller number of rice, a crucial architecture that influences yield. Novel frontiers in microbiological applications for agriculture highlight the profound role of the root microbiota in shaping crop architecture to boost productivity. We propose that improvements in crop production are moving from a genetic perspective on "architecture" to embracing "holobiont architecture." As such, microbial orchestration provides a dynamic fine-tune function for breeding "architecture-smart crops" characterised by phenotypic plasticity under environmental uncertainty.
