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 dynamic interaction between plants and their root-associated microbiota represents a sophisticated and profound biological communication that regulates plant development and the formation of adaptation to the surrounding environment. These interactions function as critical regulators of multiple physiological processes, finally influencing soil fertility and agricultural productivity. Plants have evolved epigenetic networks that regulate beneficial plant-microbe interactions through regulating immune responses, gene regulation, and metabolite production to enhance stress tolerance and soil adaptation. These regulations collectively govern microbial colonization patterns while establishing reciprocal feedback loops through root exudate-microbe interactions. This review systematically updates contemporary advances in understanding how epigenetic modifications shape rhizosphere microbiome composition and function, and discusses their potential applications in enhancing the yield and quality of horticultural crops, as well as in mitigating continuous cropping obstacles.
