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

Background and aims: Aboveground insect herbivory can change the plant rhizosphere and modulate the composition of the soil microbiome. However, it is unclear to what extent these changes in the rhizosphere affect plant resistance to above-ground herbivorous insects, and how these plant-soil feedback (PSF) mechanisms are shaped. Here, we investigated whether herbivore-induced changes in the rhizosphere increase resistance against caterpillars in cabbage, Methods: PSF experiments with rhizosphere-soil transfer were performed for a wild and cultivated Results: We found that caterpillar-induced soil conditioning affected the performance of Conclusion: Overall, we found that natural variation within one plant species can, depending on intensity and duration of herbivory, result in opposite PSF effects with consequences for jasmonic acid-mediated defences. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11104-026-08355-4.
