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: Intercropping in olive orchards increases the risk of soil-borne fungal infections, particularly when associated crops are susceptible to the same pathogens. This study aimed to identify soil-borne microorganisms colonizing the roots and rhizosphere of olive trees in Tunisia intercropped with Material and methods: Endophytic fungi and bacteria were isolated from olive soils and roots collected from three olive orchards subjected to different intercropping systems. Fungal strains were molecularly identified at the species level using Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) and translation elongation factor 1-α ( Results and discussion: A total of 83 fungal and 40 bacterial strains were isolated. The fungal community was dominated by
