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

Yoania is a rare achlorophyllous mycoheterotrophic orchid genus distributed across Japan, Taiwan, China, India and Vietnam, associating with wood-decomposing fungi. Studying mycoheterotrophic plants' mycorrhizal diversity is essential, as they depend entirely on fungi for carbon and nutrients. Here, we studied mycorrhizal interactions and nutrient strategies in three Yoania species from Taiwan and China. We hypothesize (H1) that Physisporinus associates with the Yoania species studied, and (H2) that when this symbiotic relationship alters nutritional patterns, this partnership will result in lower δ
