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

Introduction: Crop rotation promotes ecological effects and production by regulating belowground processes, particularly the shaping of the rhizosphere soil microbiome. Rhizosphere metabolites are a key driver of belowground processes and play a crucial role in shaping soil microbial community composition. However, the rhizosphere metabolites of different potato rotations have rarely been reported, and the regulation of key metabolites on the rhizosphere soil microbiome remains unclear. Methods: This study measured agronomic traits of potatoes, collected potato rhizosphere soils from three crop rotations, including potato monoculture (P-P), maize ( Results: Compared to monoculture, the potato rotations had positive effects on growth and yield. Potato rotations had more primary metabolites, such as amino acids and carbohydrates and conjugates, but significantly reduced secondary metabolites with defensive functions in rhizosphere soils including phenols and other benzene derivatives, flavonoids, alkaloids and other N-containing compounds, and terpenoids. Potato rotation systems supported higher diversity of bacteria and fungi and enriched beneficial bacteria such as biocontrol, nitrogen fixation, C degradation, denitrification, and pollutant degradation bacteria, while suppressing pathogenic fungi in the rhizosphere soils. Rhizosphere soil metabolites strongly correlated with the microbial community composition. The secondary metabolites, which are predominantly alkaloids, terpenoids, and flavonoids, exerted a dominant regulatory effect on the composition of soil microbial community. Discussion: These results demonstrate the important regulation of rhizosphere metabolites on soil microbial community composition, deepening our understanding of the benefits of crop rotation via the belowground effect.
